Case Study: Forage expands secure EBT transactions with Basis Theory

Forage expands EBT access to 43 million Americans with Basis Theory

Forage, a payments company enabling merchants to accept EBT SNAP payments, needed a secure and highly available solution to encrypt and tokenize the sensitive PINs required for these transactions. They required a partner that could provide this critical security, ensure PCI compliance, and integrate with their customers' applications without adding significant latency to their payment processing flow. Basis Theory was selected as the vendor to provide this tokenization service.

Basis Theory implemented its tokenization solution to securely handle EBT PIN data, providing Forage with a PCI-compliant environment. The integration resulted in superior system availability and reduced latency compared to their other provider. This enhanced performance and security have enabled Forage to reliably expand EBT payment acceptance to more merchants and partners, including Uber Eats and DoorDash, making online groceries more accessible for millions of Americans.
