MAS grants Atome in-principle approval to be a Major Payment Institution

Atome can now perform regulated payment services in Singapore.

Atome has received in-principle approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore to operate as a Major Payment Institution or MPI under the Payment Services Act 2019.

Under its new license, Atome can now perform regulated payment services, such as account issuance, domestic and cross-border money transfers, and even merchant acquisition services in Singapore.

Leanne Lim, Atome’s regional head of compliance said that it is an immense privilege to be granted an IPA.

“This validates the work our team has been putting into building our compliance infrastructure and we will further strengthen existing frameworks by continuously monitoring emerging risks and regulations. In the coming months, we look forward to working closely with the MAS, our merchant partners and our consumers to achieve desirable outcomes for the payment ecosystem,” Lim said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
