Temu partners with Atome to offer flexible payment options in Malaysia

It will offer interest-free installments.

Global e-commerce platform Temu has partnered with Atome, Southeast Asia’s leading digital financial services provider, to introduce flexible payment options for Malaysian shoppers.

The collaboration allows customers to select Atome as their preferred payment method at checkout, enabling interest-free installment plans for a wide range of products on Temu’s platform. New Atome users will also receive exclusive discount vouchers on their first purchase.

Online shopping is growing in Malaysia, with nearly half of Malaysians making purchases online in 2024, according to Ipsos Malaysia. The e-commerce sector contributed MYR 427.7b to the economy in 2023, up 3.9% from the previous year, according to the Department of Statistics Malaysia.

"Integrating Atome as a payment checkout option will provide millions of Temu customers in Malaysia with the choice, convenience and flexibility of how they want to shop and pay, significantly enhancing the consumer shopping experience," said Andy Tan, chief commercial officer at Atome Financial.
