Atome provides a payment method based on the BNPL business model. This is a new innovation and is an emergent layer in the credit space. In this model, the relationship is between the consumer and the merchant rather than the traditional relationship between the consumer and the corresponding bank/ credit card company.
The BNPL companies take around 5% to 6% from the retailers. However, ever since the boom in e-commerce, the retailers are willing to give due to the increased traffic they are witnessing.
USE ATOME AS YOUR PAYMENT METHOD.
The freedom of shopping is a great feeling. But most of us are unable to enjoy this freedom due to financial constraints. Sometimes the financial responsibilities stop us from buying even the necessities of life. Most of us live on tight budgets that do not allow us to get anything extra. In the past couple of years, these budgets have already been disturbed due to the pandemic. Atome has proved to be of great help for people in these difficult times. It becomes easier to buy when you can break up the payment into parts.
Atome offers the BNPL business model to its consumers. Simply speaking, it is a Buy Now Pay Later model. In this model, the consumer is only required to pay a third of the actual payment initially. It allows them freedom in shopping, and the burden is shared equally over three months; hence they do not upset their budget overly.
If you use Atome as your payment method, then you can make local payments as well as global payments.
