FROM COMPLEXITY TO CONTROL: ATOMIC LAUNCHES PAYNOW TO SIMPLIFY RECURRING BILL PAYMENTS

Atomic Expands Product Suite to Bring Clarity, Confidence, and Convenience to Paying Recurring Bills Inside Banking Apps

Atomic, a leader in embedded financial connectivity, announced the launch of PayNow, a new experience that enables consumers to view, manage, and pay bills directly from their bank or fintech app.

PayNow brings clarity and control to bill management. It allows account holders to securely connect to service providers (e.g. internet or mobile providers), review upcoming bills alongside their balances, and initiate payments directly with those merchants or billers via ACH or card, all without leaving their banking app.

Meeting consumers where they already are

Atomic developed PayNow after analyzing user behavior across its payment-switching data. Nearly 20% of all payment switches happen within two days of a bill’s due date. That number rises to 40% for mobile and internet bills due within five days.

Consumers already rely on their banking app to decide how and when to pay. PayNow turns that moment into a seamless experience, letting them see their balance, understand what’s coming due, and initiate a payment to that merchant or biller without switching between apps or websites.

“We designed PayNow to meet people where they already are—checking their balance and deciding how to pay a bill,” said Jordan Wright, CEO and Co-founder of Atomic. “It gives them a simple, secure way to submit payments from a place they trust. And because it’s built on the same infrastructure as the rest of the Atomic platform, it creates a seamless path toward a fully connected payments hub experience.”

Flexible options when cash is tight

Paying bills can often create stress, especially when cash flow is uncertain. PayNow is built to ease that pressure by enabling users to make payments directly to merchants or billers from within their banking app. By turning a moment of anxiety into one of confident action, PayNow helps users stay in control, avoid late fees, and maintain financial progress.

The experience also creates natural opportunities for banks and fintechs to introduce supportive services like cash advances, credit line access, or payment flexibility. These touchpoints build trust, drive retention, and position the bank or fintech as a reliable partner in their customers’ financial lives.

Helping institutions deepen trust and stickiness

For financial institutions and fintechs, PayNow drives engagement and loyalty by meeting users at key decision points in how they manage bills and money. Launching first with mobile and internet providers, PayNow enables banks and fintechs to reach customers during critical bill payment windows and offer real-time, actionable support.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jalen Brunson scored 33 points, including a 3-pointer that capped the Knicks' opening 23-point run — the largest in the NBA since detailed play-by-play for all four quarters began in 1997 — and New York beat the Utah Jazz 146-112 on Friday night.

Deuce McBride was 7 for 10 from 3-point range and added 22 points for the Knicks, who didn't allow a point until the first quarter was more than half over. Karl-Anthony Towns had 18 points and nine rebounds in the Knicks' highest-scoring game of the season.

The Knicks got starting forward OG Anunoby back from a nine-game absence due to a left hamstring injury, then made sure he or any other starter wouldn't need to play too many minutes.

Anunoby, wearing a black sleeve on his left leg, finished with 11 points in 22 minutes. Jordan Clarkson, who won the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award while playing for Utah, had 16 points in a game the Knicks led by as many as 41 points.

Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George each scored 18 points for the Jazz, who won beat the Nets 123-110 on Thursday night in Brooklyn and were seeking their first three-game winning streak of the season. Those hopes ended quickly.

Brunson's 3-pointer made it 23-0 with 5:53 remaining in the first quarter. The Jazz missed their first 12 shots before George finally got them on the scoreboard when he converted a three-point play with 5:27 left.

The Knicks led 41-13, and the 28-point advantage their largest after one quarter in the play-by-play era. It was the second time this season that the Jazz trailed by 28 going into the second quarter. The Minnesota Timberwolves led 43-15 in their 137-97 victory on Nov. 7.

Jazz: Host Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Knicks: Host Orlando on Sunday.
