Atomic

What Atomic does

Atomic is an embedded investing-as-a-service platform that lets fintechs, banks, credit unions, consumer brands, and crypto platforms offer brokerage, wealth management, and cash management products under their own brand without becoming a regulated entity. The platform is delivered through developer-first APIs, pre-built UI experiences, and a back-office dashboard, layered over two wholly-owned regulated subsidiaries: Atomic Invest LLC (SEC-registered investment adviser providing discretionary algorithmic asset management) and Atomic Brokerage LLC (FINRA-registered broker-dealer, SIPC member, with clearing and custody provided by Pershing LLC / Bank of New York Mellon). Atomic monetizes through a combination of recurring B2B platform/API licensing fees, transaction economics tied to $20B+ annualized trading volume routed through its brokerage infrastructure, fees from the FDIC-insured Atomic Cash Sweep program (which distributes client cash across 12 program banks for up to $2.5M FDIC coverage), and a separate zero-equity fixed-fee MedTech venture service. Customer segments include financial institutions (banks and credit unions such as One Nevada), consumer fintechs (NerdWallet, Daffy, Plenty, Bolt), B2B fintechs (Bluevine, Aspire), and crypto/digital-asset platforms (Uphold), with growing geographic reach across up to 60 markets via Pershing/BNY custody in the U.S. and a new EU foothold from the January 2026 acquisition of Netherlands-based MiFID-regulated Groene Hart Financial Diensten. Recent strategic priorities include expanding into Australia and the UK, broadening the product suite into bill payments (PayDirect) and MedTech venture services, and continuing to scale enterprise partnerships that embed Atomic infrastructure into millions of end-user accounts.

Core offering

Atomic operates an embedded investing-as-a-service platform that lets banks, credit unions, fintechs, and consumer brands launch investing, brokerage, wealth management, and cash management products in weeks rather than years. The platform combines developer-first APIs, pre-built UI experiences, and a back-office management dashboard layered over its own SEC-registered investment adviser (Atomic Invest LLC) and FINRA-registered broker-dealer (Atomic Brokerage LLC), with custody and clearing provided by Pershing LLC (BNY Mellon).

Product overview

Atomic operates an investing-as-a-service platform under the parent company AtomicVest, Inc., connecting partner fintechs and financial institutions to its two regulated subsidiaries: Atomic Invest (an SEC-registered investment adviser providing algorithmic discretionary asset management) and Atomic Brokerage (a FINRA-registered broker-dealer providing clearing, custody via Pershing, and trade execution). The platform is organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture: the unified AtomicVest platform delivers three core solution modules—Wealth Management, Cash Management, and Brokerage Services—each accessible via developer-first APIs, pre-built UI experiences, and a back-office dashboard. On top of these modules sit specific products including the Atomic Cash Sweep program (FDIC-insured, multi-bank cash distribution), Atomic PayDirect (recurring bill payments), and the Treasury APIs & Turnkey Experiences. Together, this offering lets any consumer-facing company embed compliant investing, savings, cash management, and wealth management features in weeks without becoming a regulated entity themselves.

Direct peers

• DriveWealth: DriveWealth is an embedded brokerage-as-a-service provider offering fractional share trading and custody infrastructure to fintechs and global platforms. It competes most directly with Atomic's Brokerage and Wealth Management modules for the same fintech and neobank customer base.
• Alpaca: Alpaca provides broker-as-a-service APIs for embedded trading, equities, ETFs, and crypto to developers and fintechs. It competes head-to-head with Atomic in the developer-first embedded brokerage segment.
• Apex Fintech Solutions: Apex provides clearing, custody, and embedded brokerage infrastructure powering many consumer investing apps. It overlaps with Atomic's regulated brokerage stack and competes for the same fintech and bank clients seeking white-label brokerage.
• Wealthsimple: Wealthsimple is a Canadian consumer investing and wealth platform that has begun offering B2B infrastructure to other financial institutions. It is a comparable model — combining regulated brokerage, RIA, and cash management under one roof — and competes for North American fintech and bank partners seeking white-label wealth experiences.

Broad incumbents

• Addepar: Addepar is an established wealth management technology platform serving RIAs, family offices, and large financial institutions. It overlaps with Atomic's Wealth Management module but is positioned more upstream toward advisor-led workflows rather than consumer fintechs.
• Marqeta: Marqeta is a leading card-issuing and embedded payments BaaS provider. While it competes in the broader embedded finance category rather than investing specifically, it addresses the same fintech and bank buyers and increasingly extends into cash management adjacent to Atomic's Cash Management module.
• Galileo Financial Technologies: Galileo (a SoFi subsidiary) provides banking-as-a-service infrastructure including accounts, card issuing, and payments. It competes for the same B2B fintech and embedded finance buyers as Atomic and overlaps in cash management use cases.
• Betterment: Betterment is a large consumer robo-advisor and B2B 401(k) platform. While primarily consumer-facing rather than B2B embedded, its technology stack overlaps with Atomic's wealth management and RIA offerings and it represents an adjacent model of how digital wealth can scale.

Emerging players

• iCapital: iCapital powers alternative investments (private equity, hedge funds, structured products) for wealth managers and advisors. It intersects with Atomic's Yieldstreet integration and alts/wealth offerings, representing a partial functional overlap in the embedded wealth category.

Others

• Plaid: Plaid provides financial data connectivity and account-linking infrastructure that underpins much of embedded finance. It does not compete directly with Atomic's brokerage/wealth stack but is a complementary enabler for the same fintech partner relationships.
