# The payment vault for data Independence

Support any payment method, scheme, or network—domestically and abroad. Store the data in a PCI Level 1 compliant vault.

## What’s inside Basis Theory’s payment vault?

Follow our documentation and use our SDKs to get started.

> “We were able to develop some of our own forms with Basis Theory that allow people to choose their payment method to complete the purchase. Basis Theory takes the credit card data after it’s entered, tokenizes it, routes it to the carrier, and vaults the data.”  
> Matt Donofrio, Head of Revenue at Marble

# Where to use a payment vault

## Realize more revenue with embedded payments.

## Protect against a PSP shutdown with an agnostic payment vault.

## Never miss a payment with card enrichments done at the vault level.

# What makes Basis Theory unique

We are independent by design.

## Replace processor iFrames

Collect end-user data with [Basis Theory Elements](https://developers.basistheory.com/docs/concepts/elements) and route transactions to any processor.

## Own the underwriting data

Use the [Proxy](https://developers.basistheory.com/docs/concepts/what-is-the-proxy) to access the vault as needed—keeping your systems out of PCI compliance scope—but with a centralized data source.

## Reduce churn and insult rates

Provision [network tokens](https://developers.basistheory.com/docs/features/network-tokens), run [account updater](https://developers.basistheory.com/docs/guides/account-updater/overview) requests, implement [3DS](https://developers.basistheory.com/docs/guides/threeds/overview), and take advantage of other card enrichments that are native to the vault.

## Bring your own processor

Enable customers to [work with any merchant](https://developers.basistheory.com/docs/guides/any/) using their existing processor. Support any processor, gateway, or fraud partner.

More of the transactions you want.
Less of the risk and fraud you don't. Start testing now or discuss your use case with our team today.
