How do I manage my Atoa account?

Managing your Atoa account is straightforward whether you're at your desk or on the go. From adding your team and tracking payments to updating your settings and keeping your account secure, everything is accessible from the Atoa Business Dashboard or the Atoa Business app. How do I access my Atoa account?

For full details on setting up 2FA, switching methods, recovering access, and managing trusted devices, see the Two-step authentication guide.

How to verify your business on Atoa

Why verify your business? When you first sign up with Atoa, there's a £20 limit on payments. Verify your business to lift this limit and continue enjoying low processing fees. But don’t worry, our verification process is super simple. To keep Atoa safe, we carry out a quick check of new users to confirm their identity and keep our platform safe. What we need from you - A photo of your ID (passport or UK driver's licence). - Something that shows your business address (like a utility bill, bank statement, phone bill, council tax bill, or tax document). - A quick selfie so we can match it to your ID. Can any business get verified? We can't register small online-only businesses. You'll need to have a physical store as well as an online one and be able to prove you're trading from both. Using Atoa to take payments on places like Facebook Marketplace isn't allowed. If you do, your account will be suspended. Tips to make verification easy - Have your ID and proof of business address handy. - Take your selfie in a bright spot. - Please read the verification instructions carefully to make sure your documents are shared in the correct format. - Make sure each document is the original, hasn't been changed, and we can see all four corners with everything on it. - We might need some more details or documents to verify your business. Keep an eye out for an email or a call from our team. Need more support with verification? If you're stuck verifying your business or need further help, please email us at onboarding@paywithatoa.co.uk.

Does Atoa charge a minimum fee?

Our standard rate of 0.7% works out at about 70p in fees per £100. Instant payments at an unbeatable low rate can help boost your business' cash flow, giving you time to focus on growth. The business will be charged their plan (0.7% per transaction in most cases*) or 30p, whichever number is higher during that month. The 30p charge is paid directly to Stripe to maintain your Direct Debit mandate. You can view your monthly statements by opening your Atoa app, selecting My Account, clicking Billing and Billing History, and then selecting the month you would like to view. You can see your current month's usage by choosing Billing, Current Usage, and Plan. This will display your current use and estimated charges. Fees are collected by direct debit once a month. When a customer pays with Atoa, your business will receive 100% of the transaction amount instantly. We do not hold any of your funds. Larger businesses are eligible for custom pricing, which is significantly lower than 0.7% per transaction. We also offer capped fees for businesses with high average transaction values. Please contact us at hello@paywithatoa.co.uk for more information. Atoa recognises the importance of charity and its positive impact on communities. We offer a reduced transaction rate of 0.3% for all UK-registered charities. To qualify, you need to provide your UK Charity Number during registration. Please note that all pricing excludes VAT.

How do I change my linked bank account?

You can edit your bank account details directly from your Atoa account settings. Go to Settings and select Manage Bank Accounts. Click the three dots under the Action column next to the account you want to update, then click Edit. Make your changes and click Update details. How do I add a new bank account? You can add a new bank account from the same page. Go to Settings, select Manage Bank Accounts, and click the Add Bank Account button. Enter your new account details and click Add bank account. If you want this new account to receive billing payments, make sure you tick the box that says: Use this account for billing. All following transactions will then be paid into the new account. Can I have more than one bank account on my Atoa account? Yes. You can save multiple bank accounts at once and choose which account to use for receiving payments and which to use for billing. FAQs What should I do if I'm switching to a new bank account? If you're adding a new bank account and removing an old one, make sure you enable the new account for billing before deleting the old one. This ensures you don't miss any bill payments during the switch. Do I need to register my bank account under my business name? Yes, if you are a Limited Company or a charity. Your connected bank account must be registered under your business or charity name, not a personal name. What if my bank account details are showing as invalid? Double-check that you've entered the correct sort code and account number. A small typo is the most common cause of an invalid details message. Correct the details and try again. If you run into any issues that can't be resolved from your settings, contact us at hello@paywithatoa.co.uk and we'll help you get it sorted.

You can upload these documents by visiting the Atoa Business app on your phone or by logging into your Atoa web dashboard on your computer. What happens if I don't verify my account?

When do I get paid? (Settlements)

The moment a customer pays, the clock starts. Here's exactly when you can expect the money in your account, depending on how they paid. When does the money reach my account? It depends on how your customer paid. Here's a quick overview: 1. Pay by Bank – Instant for small businesses / Next working day for larger businesses (approx. 3 AM) 2. Visa / Mastercard – 2 working days (T+2) 3. American Express – 3 working days (T+3) Card settlement times exclude weekends and public holidays. Pay by Bank settles every day. How does Pay by Bank settlement work? For most small businesses, Pay by Bank payments settle instantly. The money arrives in your account the moment the customer pays. For larger businesses, payments are consolidated and paid out the next working day. How does card settlement work? Visa and Mastercard payments typically settle within 2 working days. American Express payments settle within 3 working days. Weekends and public holidays are not counted as working days, so settlements may take a little longer over the weekend and bank holiday periods. When does Atoa charge its fees? It depends on how your customer paid: - Pay by Bank – Fees are charged once a month via Direct Debit. You receive 100% of the payment from the customer upfront, and the fee is collected separately at the end of the month. - Card payments – Fees are deducted daily from your settlement amount. The amount that lands in your account each day is your total card takings minus the card transaction fees. For full details on how billing works, see How does billing work? Do I need to manually reconcile payments? No. Every payment syncs automatically, so your records are always up to date. One less thing to think about. If you have any questions about a settlement or payment, contact us at hello@paywithatoa.co.uk.
