  Atomic is the connected-banking infrastructure for income, payroll, and merchant data. Their user-permissioned APIs
  let banks, lenders, fintechs, and HR platforms link consumers to thousands of payroll providers, gig platforms,
  employers, and merchants — and then read or update that data in real time. Core use cases include direct-deposit
  switching, paycheck-linked income and employment verification, tax-document retrieval, and card-on-file / subscription
  management. Integration is done through the Transact SDK (web, iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, Capacitor) plus a
  REST API at api.atomicfi.com that manages access tokens, tasks, companies, deposit accounts, and webhooks. Atomic is
  headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah.

      Deposit (formerly Direct Deposit Switching) lets users redirect all or part of their paycheck to a new account.

      and updates direct-deposit allocations — supporting total, fixed-amount, or percentage-based distributions.
