Step-by-step guide

1) Register with your handphone number
2) As a first-time user, you will need to go through user verification. Click "Pay" at the home page
3) Fill in personal information with MyInfo or manual input
4) Add your credit/debit card details to complete the registration

In general, majority of the Atome users have a credit limit of:

Non-Credit Card Customer = SGD 1,000

Credit Card Customer = SGD 3,000


As a general guideline, the credit limit will be SGD 1000 for new debit card users and SGD 3000 for new credit card users. However, your purchase may still be declined due to a variety of other factors which Atome uses to determine the approval of the transaction. 

Your credit limit in the Atome account is determined by the default payment card. For example, if you have added 3 credit cards and 2 debit cards in your account, and the primary card is a debit card, your limit will be SGD 1000.

To maintain a higher limit, please:
1) Switch to our preferred payment option i.e. credit card and/or local cards and
2) Keep a good repayment behavior

Note: All Atome users have varying credit limits available for transacting with Atome. This limit is different from the credit limit that you have set on your credit/debit card.

We are very sorry to know that you are unable to make a purchase and that your account has been suspended. There are various reasons why an Atome account may be suspended:

Issues at User Identity Verification

1) If the card is not a government-issued identity card that is distributed and recognised by the country where you are a citizen or resident, and/or
2) If the Identification card is unclear or a scanned copy, and/or
3) If the full name on the identity card does not match with the full name on your registered Atome account.

Account security at risk

If we suspect that an account has been compromised, we may suspend it until it can be secured and restored to the account owner in order to reduce potentially malicious activity caused by the compromise.

Overdue payments

You may have overlooked your payments and as a result your account was temporarily suspended. Please make the necessary payments so that your account can be activated.

Technical issue

There could be rare occurrences of technical error from Atome end that could result in an account being suspended.

In order for Atome to investigate the cause of the suspended account, please submit a request with your name, registered phone number and registered email.

To make things easy and convenient, Atome automated your future payments. You do not have to worry about late repayment, so long as the card bound to your Atome account is valid and has sufficient value.

Atome will also be sending different messages - reminders and payment status via SMS for all your upcoming payments.

You may also refer to the Atome app to keep track of your payments:

1) Go to "Bills" and click transaction for more payment details

2) Payment details will be shown - "Auto-deduction" and "Payment completed" date and amount

3)  [OPTIONAL] You may also pay in advance by clicking "Pay now" and then "Confirm Payment" (3 days after order date)

To make things easy and convenient, we have automated your future payments. However, if you wish to make an early repayment, you can do so via the Atome app:
