Atome Philippines has announced a strategic partnership with Bayad, the Philippines’ largest bill payment aggregator, that will allow Filipino users to seamlessly pay bills — including water, electricity, internet and government contributions – and other essential payments directly within the Atome Philippines app.

Through this partnership, Atome customers gain access to Bayad’s extensive network of billers and service providers, streamlining bill payment management and budgeting within a single platform. The integration addresses customers’ real pain point of managing multiple bill payment platforms and consolidating them for better budgeting and financial health, while also earning Atome rewards points on every utility bill payment.
“Bayad is committed to democratizing bill payment access across the Philippines,” said Lawrence Ferrer, President and CEO of Bayad. “Our partnership with Atome represents a significant opportunity to reach millions of Filipinos and make bill payment faster, safer, and more rewarding. This deep collaboration exemplifies how fintech innovation can really drive financial inclusion at scale.”
“This partnership is a natural evolution of Atome’s mission to make financial services more accessible and convenient for everyday Filipinos,” said Christian Quiros, President and General Manager of Atome Philippines. “Bill payments represent a significant portion of household budgets, and now our users can make essential payments alongside their other daily needs such as groceries, food, pharmacy and telco bills without having to switch apps. This partnership with Bayad makes financial inclusion and budgeting real for millions of unbanked and underbanked Filipinos.”
