Congratulations to Basis Theory on Their Strategic Partnership with Mastercard

Big news in payments innovation: Mastercard and Basis Theory have announced a strategic partnership designed to advance agentic commerce.  A significant next-generation approach that combines AI-driven intelligence with secure, flexible payment infrastructure. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in shaping how businesses and consumers will interact in a more personalized, efficient, and secure commerce environment.

At RPY Innovations, we know the future of payments depends on partnerships like this.  Where global networks and cutting-edge technology providers come together to solve for both opportunity and risk. Basis Theory’s expertise in tokenization, secure data handling, and developer-first infrastructure makes them a natural fit to collaborate with Mastercard as agentic commerce takes shape.

We are especially pleased to continue the conversation with Basis Theory at the Northeast Acquirers Conference (NEAA), happening February 4–5, 2026 in Boston, MA. RPY Innovations will be joining Colin Luce of Basis Theory and Bill Lynch of AurionPro on stage for a panel discussion exploring:

• What agentic commerce mean for acquirers, PayFacs, and merchants.

• The role of AI, data security, and compliance in this new model.

• How partnerships like Mastercard + Basis Theory are setting the stage for the next decade of payments.

Congratulations again to Basis Theory on this milestone partnership with Mastercard. We look forward to a robust discussion at NEAA in Boston—and to exploring how agentic commerce will reshape the payments landscape.
