To summarize, your account will be activated as soon as the membership fee is paid and processed. Atlas attempts to process payment automatically from your linked bank account when you sign up, and you will receive an email notification when a payment is initiated. The payment process may take 2-3 days to complete. Once the payment clears, your account will be activated, and it will remain active as long as you continue to make monthly membership fee payments. If you prefer, you can also initiate payment manually through the "Details" section on the Home tab by selecting "Make a payment" and "Pay now".
