June Changelog: First Half of 2025 in Review

As we reach the midpoint of 2025, we’re reflecting on the key updates and improvements we’ve made to the Basis Theory platform. Over the first half of the year, we’ve focused on enhancing user experience, expanding integrations, and improving security, ensuring that our platform continues to support businesses at the forefront of payment innovation.
Let’s dive into the most significant updates from each month.
January 2025: Introduced Brand New SDKs
In January, we announced that we had released seven new SDKs. These new SDKs significantly improve the speed at which customers receive new features and bring them closer to feature parity with our APIs. They also come with the added benefits of automatic pagination, automatic retries on requests, and more.

February 2025: Token Intent Improvements
February brought updates to token Intents, allowing support for all other token types to enable non-card use cases. This allows bank accounts and other data to be verified (e.g., using the Basis Theory Verification endpoint) before converting into a long-lived Token. We also added a Retrieve Token Intent ID endpoint to allow server-side verification of Token Intent data or the recapture of card details.

March 2025: Major 3DS Improvements
In March, we introduced many 3DS improvements, from improved documentation to improved error handling and requestor information field automation.
April 2025: Real-time Account Updater
In April, we released real-time account updater, which allows you to retrieve updates to a single card token in real time. This is especially beneficial to prevent involuntary churn for transactions that run between any regularly scheduled batch updates. With real-time account updater, customers can then strive to save any failed transactions by attempting to update outdated cards in real-time.
May 2025: Full Network Tokens Support
In May, we officially announced that we fully support network tokens.
Network tokens enable merchants to convert raw card details into secure, network-issued tokens. The network token endpoints support one-time purchases, card-on-file transactions, subscriptions, and other recurring or cross-border payments by issuing tokens that automatically update on card reissues and boost authorization rates—all without ever storing PANs.

We’re proud of the progress we’ve made in the first half of 2025 and are excited about what’s to come. Stay tuned for more updates for the second half of 2025!
