LONDON, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Reward, a global leader in customer engagement and commerce media, today announces that it has been acquired by Rezolve Ai PLC (NASDAQ: RZLV), global provider of AI-driven commerce and payments infrastructure, 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.

AI-powered commerce journeys, from insight to conversion
For the first time, commerce media and conversational commerce are brought together on a shared AI foundation, enabling brands to move seamlessly from discovery and influence into hyper-personalised 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 trusted 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 & 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."
