New Weavr Feature Enables SaaS Embedders to Automate Financial Actions on Behalf of Customers

Weavr, the embedded finance provider, today announced the launch of Delegation of Authority (DoA), a breakthrough feature that allows SaaS embedders to act on behalf of their customers at scale in a secure and compliant manner.

For SaaS embedders whose platforms manage financial processes for their customers, the challenge has long been balancing compliance with automation. Traditional frameworks require every financial action to be initiated and authenticated directly by the customer, limiting efficiency and scalability. Delegation of Authority changes this by introducing a PSD2-compliant mechanism for customers to grant (and when they choose to, withdraw) explicit consent for specific actions, allowing embedders to automate them safely.

“Delegation of Authority is a great example of how Weavr works backwards from our customers’ needs,” said Alex Mifsud, co-founder and CEO of Weavr. “Rather than asking our embedder customers to fit into the limits of existing financial infrastructure, we’ve designed the infrastructure to fit their operating models. We believe this is the most secure way to delegate and automate in embedded finance today.”

The feature introduces two complementary capabilities, delegation and automation. Together, they enable SaaS embedders to act under formal, auditable authority from their customers, removing the need for informal private arrangements where customers share their credentials with software vendors to enjoy the benefits of automation or clumsy application of repeated Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) activity to deal with frequent payments.  This solution, designed to be fully compliant with PSD2 regulation on the application of SCA, not only improves security and traceability but also unlocks automation for lowrisk, routine financial actions such as issuing cards to employees, updating spend limits, or deactivating users.

Intelligent benefits platform ThanksBen is one of the first to deploy Weavr’s Delegation of Authority, using it to take approved actions on behalf of its customers. By enabling secure operation within defined consent boundaries, DoA lets ThanksBen deliver a more complete, automated experience that enhances its offering while remaining fully compliant and auditable.

Weavr will next expand the availability of Delegation of Authority beyond HR Tech to additional customer sectors where automation and consent-based operation are key to scaling embedded financial programmes.

“With Delegation of Authority, we’re offering even greater flexibility in our solutions empowering customers to take advantage of automation while staying in control rather than having to be present every time financial activity is performed on their account ,” added Mifsud. “It reflects our belief that embedded finance should mould around each customer’s goals, enabling innovation that’s secure, compliant yet effortless.”
