Atome FAQs

Am I eligible to use Atome?

To be eligible for Atome’s services, you’ll need to:

  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Currently reside in Singapore or Malaysia
  • Have a mobile phone number which must be registered under your NRIC/FIN with your telco
  • Own a credit or debit card that will be used to pay for purchases on Atome
Do I still need a credit card to use Atome for car rentals?

No, you won't need a credit card to be eligible to use Atome to pay for your car rental, as they accept both debit and credit cards.


However, your chosen car rental provider will still require you to present a valid credit card in the renter's name when you collect your car. This is so you can pay a refundable security deposit, which is paid back when you return your rental car.

Are there any hidden fees with Atome?

No, there are no hidden fees when you pay using Atome. You only pay what you see at checkout, which is the total cost of your basket, without any additional interest charged.


There's no interest, no fees. The only additional fee you may incur is a fixed late repayment fee if you are late with your repayments; however, this is a one-time fee and never snowballs.


If you make your payments on time, the only cost you'll pay is the cost of your basket.

You’ll receive your full payment schedule by email, so you’ll always know how much is due and when. You can also manage your payments, check upcoming charges, or pay early through the Atome app.

Can I use Atome to rent a luxury car?
