SOUTHEAST Asia's leading developer and mall operator SM has partnered with Atome to introduce buy-now-pay-later checkout counters across five of its department stores in Manila and on its e-commerce platform, ShopSM.

Starting today, shoppers at five SM department stores in Manila — SM North Edsa, SM Makati, SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia and SM Southmall — will be able to split their purchases into three, zero-interest payments upon checkout at a dedicated counter inside the shopping mall. To pay, users first have to download Atome's app and register an account before selecting Atome as the checkout payment option.
