Rezolve Ai (NASDAQ:RZLV), a global facilitator of AI-driven commerce and payments infrastructure, has acquired Reward, a provider of customer engagement and commerce media, for $230 million.
The acquisition brings together Reward’s engagement, intelligence and activation capabilities with Rezolve Ai’s conversational commerce and agentic AI platform to accelerate innovation in AI-powered banking and commerce.
Gavin Dein, founder and deputy chairman of Reward, said,
“Reward is on a mission to make everyday spending more rewarding, returning more than $2.5 billion to customers to date. We’ve donated circa $20 million to charitable causes, and rewarded staff, past and present, with more than $30 million as shareholders. I’m immensely proud of what we’ve achieved at Reward and excited about what the team will continue to build as part of Rezolve Ai group.”
The deal brings commerce media and conversational commerce together on a shared AI foundation, enabling brands to move from discovery and influence into hyper-personalized conversations that guide consumers through to transaction, with outcomes measured directly against real spend.
This is achieved by combining Reward’s first-party transaction insight and engagement channels with Rezolve Ai’s real-time conversational commerce capabilities, connecting brands with banking customers at moments of purchase intent.
Daniel M. Wagner, founder, CEO and chairman of Rezolve Ai, said,
“Reward is a profitable, scaled platform that sits directly at the heart of AI-driven commerce, already operating at scale, where discovery, engagement, transaction and loyalty converge. It materially advances our core AI commerce strategy by embedding Rezolve deeper into everyday consumer spend across banks, retailers and payment networks.”
With established relationships across global banks and retailers, a presence across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and platforms designed for multinational deployment, Rezolve Ai and Reward believe they are well-positioned to support the scalable adoption of AI-driven commerce across retail, banking and embedded commerce environments worldwide.
The combined group also intends to leverage Rezolve Ai’s market footprint in the Americas to support future expansion.
Jamie Samaha, CEO at Reward, added,
”Becoming part of Rezolve Ai is a strong validation of our business performance and the unique value we deliver for our customers. Together, we’re building a first-of-a-kind AI-driven commerce platform that brings millions of customers around the world to our global retail partners, converting browsing into measurable sales with hyper-personalized content at the moments that matter most, all while accelerating our international expansion as we look to the Americas.”
