# Protect your business with a backup PSP

Remove any single point of failure by having connections to multiple PSPs to protect against the risk of outage or shutdown.

## Tools for connecting with any PSP

Create a Basis Theory account to get started.

> “We were working with a PSP and they said they were okay with our business, but they ended up going back on their word and shutting us off without any warning. We wanted to make sure that we're always in a position where we will have a provider even if something happens.”

# Eliminate any single point of failure

Never miss a payment by having connections to multiple PSPs.

Collect end-user data with [Basis Theory Elements](https://developers.basistheory.com/docs/concepts/elements) and route transactions to any processor.

Use the [Proxy](https://developers.basistheory.com/docs/concepts/what-is-the-proxy) to access the vault as needed—keeping your systems out of PCI compliance scope—but with a centralized data source.

Provision [network tokens](https://developers.basistheory.com/docs/features/network-tokens), run [account updater](https://developers.basistheory.com/docs/guides/account-updater/overview) requests, implement [3DS](https://developers.basistheory.com/docs/guides/threeds/overview), and take advantage of other card enrichments that are native to the vault.

More of the transactions you want.  
Less of the risk and fraud you don't. Start testing now or discuss your use case with our team today.
