We are happy to announce our partnership with Atome. Atome has become a household brand name with its Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) offering across ten Asian markets. In the partnership, Kilde facilitates fundraising activities for the homegrown champion Atome, giving qualified investors an opportunity to take part in the growth of one the most recognized brands in the BNPL industry.
“I am excited about the partnership with Atome, the firm that has made Singaporean consumers familiar with three instalments, zero interest concept,” said Radek Jezbera, CEO of Kilde.
Kilde has joined forces with Fundnel, Southeast Asia’s largest licensed digital marketplace for alternative assets, to reach their network of investors on Fundnel and Hg Exchange (part of the Fundnel Group). Hg Exchange will support the tokenization and digital custody of alternative assets, as well as the liquidity of the investment.
