Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) has announced a strategic partnership with Fiserv, a global leader in financial services technology, to serve as the exclusive embedded financial services and payments provider for the company's digital marketplaces and exchanges. The collaboration, announced on July 22, 2026, will integrate banking, payment, and card programs into Datavault AI's ecosystem through Fiserv's Embedded Finance platform, supporting financial transactions across platforms including its planned NIL Exchange and patented Information Data Exchange(R).
The partnership is expected to provide athletes participating in Datavault AI's NIL Exchange with payment wallets and debit cards to receive and manage name, image and likeness earnings. Meanwhile, buyers and sellers using the Information Data Exchange will gain access to demand deposit accounts and card capabilities. The companies said the collaboration is designed to embed trusted financial infrastructure directly into Datavault AI's marketplaces, streamlining commerce and expanding access to banking services for platform participants.
This move is significant as it addresses a critical need for athletes in the evolving NIL landscape, offering them a seamless way to manage earnings. For the broader marketplace, integrating financial services directly into the platform reduces friction and enhances user experience, potentially driving adoption. The partnership also underscores the growing trend of embedded finance, where non-financial companies integrate banking services into their offerings, creating new revenue streams and customer loyalty.
Datavault AI, headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, is a leader in AI-driven data experiences, valuation, and monetization in the Web 3.0 environment. Its cloud-based platform serves multiple industries, including sports and entertainment, events, biotech, education, fintech, and healthcare. The company's Acoustic Sciences division features WiSA(R), ADIO(R), and Sumerian(R) technologies for spatial and multichannel wireless sound transmission, while its Data Science division leverages Web 3.0 and high-performance computing for data perception, valuation, and monetization. The Information Data Exchange enables Digital Twins and licensing of NIL by securely attaching physical objects to immutable metadata.
Fiserv's Embedded Finance platform provides the infrastructure for Datavault AI to offer banking services without becoming a bank itself, handling compliance, risk management, and transaction processing. This allows Datavault AI to focus on its core business while offering financial products that enhance its ecosystem. The partnership is expected to expand access to banking services for participants who may be underserved by traditional financial institutions.
