Global & Localized Data

Enterprise

Global businesses need payment data to be fast, compliant, and available everywhere—without sacrificing security or adding operational complexity. Basis Theory is built to deploy natively across regions, giving you local performance and residency guarantees wherever your customers operate.

Localizing data to a specific region is typically required because many user experiences are sensitive to added latency or need to comply with data localization laws without having to document gaps in a compliance program.

Regional Data Residency by Design

Basis Theory Tenants can be deployed into specific regions to meet strict data residency, regulatory, and latency requirements.

• Tokens, configurations, and encryption keys are always stored and processed locally
• Data created in a region never leaves that region
• No cross-border replication, access, or fallback of sensitive data—ever

This model allows you to confidently operate in regulated markets without carving exceptions into your compliance program.

Global Performance & Resilience

Basis Theory’s infrastructure is optimized for global scale and high availability.

• Automatic edge routing sends requests to the correct regional data center without requiring region-specific endpoints
• Low-latency by default, with most in-region requests completing in under 100ms
• Geo-redundant regions, with infrastructure separated by hundreds or thousands of miles to protect against regional failures

You get local performance with global reliability—without managing regional complexity yourself.

FAQ

How does Basis Theory handle global traffic?

Requests are automatically routed based on authentication, ensuring traffic reaches the correct regional infrastructure without requiring custom routing or endpoint management.

Is regional data ever shared across regions?

No. Sensitive data—including tokens and encryption keys—remains strictly within the region where it was created.

Can Basis Theory support new regions?

Yes. Our platform is designed to rapidly support new regional deployments as customer needs evolve. Let us know if you have specific regional requirements.
