About Atomic Financial:

At Atomic, we’re building financial connectivity that enables the fintech and financial services ecosystem to connect consumers to the data in their payroll accounts, drive conversions of direct deposit linked products, verify income and employment history in real-time, update the card-on-file in merchants, and manage their subscriptions and bills.

We believe consumers should be able to easily share their own payroll data to improve their financial outcomes. However, connecting to the data is cumbersome, met with non-specialized solutions, which is why we founded Atomic.
