Rezolve AI Acquires Reward for $230M to Expand Agentic Commerce Platform

Rezolve AI, a Nasdaq-listed fintech focused on AI-driven commerce and payments infrastructure, has acquired customer engagement and loyalty technology company Reward for $230 million in cash. The acquisition will integrate Reward’s card-linked cashback and transaction intelligence capabilities with Brain, Rezolve’s conversational commerce and agentic AI platform.

Founded in 2001 by Gavin Dein and Peter West, UK-based Reward provides banks and retailers with data-driven cashback offers using anonymised transaction insights and has delivered approximately $2.5 billion in customer rewards. The combined platform aims to enable hyper-personalised commerce experiences that connect customer engagement directly to payments and transactions.

Rezolve recently raised $200 million to support expansion in the Americas and appointed former Microsoft executive Elizabeth Lachhar to lead regional sales growth.
