Temu partners with Atome for flexible payments in Malaysia

Temu has partnered with Atome to offer flexible payment options for users in Malaysia. Customers can select Atome at checkout to access interest-free installment plans.

New Atome users will also receive discount vouchers for their first purchase with Temu.

This initiative aligns with Malaysia’s growing ecommerce trend, driven by digital adoption and changing consumer behaviors.

Ipsos Malaysia’s 2024 Ecommerce Landscape report found that nearly half of Malaysians shopped online last year, with younger consumers leading the growth.

Popular categories include fashion, electronics, and homecare products.

The Department of Statistics Malaysia reported that the ICT and ecommerce sectors contributed 427.7 billion ringgit (US$96.96 billion) to the national economy in 2023, a 3.9% increase from 2022.

The addition of Atome aims to enhance shopping convenience for Temu users in Malaysia.
