Our story started here when our Founder Marvyn Smith was looking at the world around him in June 2020 with the Covid-19 pandemic, lockdown and civil unrest movement across the world. Communities regardless of ethnicity, heritage, employment background and social position in society all united for a common cause.
From personal experiences Marvyn identified with the unconscious biases that affected the wider community where he was prejudged and despite being professionally qualified and experienced, he was discriminated against. Marvyn wanted to make a difference and to be an example at the same time by doing something unique that will leave a legacy.
Founded in July 2020 by like-minded Individuals, when the world was struggling with the ‘new normal’, Atmen presented itself as having a necessary place in society. Atmen in German translates to ‘To Breathe’, it is apparent that the act of breathing restricted life either with the Covid-19 virus or with systemic institutional biases in society.
Taking all these events into account Marvyn and the other Co-Founders wants Atmen to be inclusive, diverse and better different from the very beginning.
What is this bollocks? How on earth does it relate to launching a payment card?
After banging on about diversity, why is the sole person depicted a white, thin, influencer–type girl?

Why did they name it something which sounds like a queer hook–up app?
If you’re going to use emoji so heavily perhaps you should take the time to understand what each one means.
For example, the ‘eye roll’ one used in the above sentence comes across as you being quite rude. I’m sure you didn’t intend to but thought I’d let you know!
Personally I won’t put my money or personal information anywhere near a financial institution which can’t even put the same registered office address in different places on the website (in the footer, and in the privacy notice; yes it’s important to read those things).
The whole enterprise comes across as utterly amateurish at best, a massive scam at worst, if I’m honest.
I still can’t get my head around why Marvyn thinks they are subjected to unconscious bias because of the brand of debit card they carry around.
I didn’t because it wasn’t directed at me. However eye rolling in general is and it seems like you weren’t aware.
It was just a passing comment to help with etiquette because I assume you’re not originally from the UK so it might have a different meaning elsewhere. I didn’t intend for it to take over the topic, however if you choose to ignore it don’t be surprised at reactions from people
