Can my Spend Power increase without a deposit?

Spend Power is designed to grow with you. As your relationship with Atlas strengthens, you might notice small increases over time—even without new deposits.

What goes into your Spend Power

  • Unsecured credit: Includes flex credit (based on your linked bank) and payroll credit (based on direct deposits)

  • Secured credit: The balance in your Atlas Checking Account

We combine both to give you the highest Spend Power possible.

Want to see faster increases?

  • Set up direct deposit to build up payroll credit (up to $250)

  • Keep money in your Atlas Checking Account to increase secured credit

  • Stay active in the app—limits may grow with continued use
