Detailed Review
Weavr Ltd is registered in England and Wales (13433581) and serves UK legal entities, while Weavr (Europe) Ltd (Malta, C98895) serves EU entities. Both are wholly owned by Paystratus Group Limited, a London company.
For EU programmes the payment account and Mastercard card come from Paynetics AD, with Weavr (Europe) Ltd acting as its registered agent.
Built around software workflows
Weavr organises its site by use case: employee benefits, expenses, accounts payable, SaaS subscriptions, in-store BNPL, loyalty, gifting and travel. Each describes a card or account pattern a product can embed.
The approach is the reverse of a processor catalogue, since the vendor starts from a workflow.
Headless and modular
Accounts, payments and cards are offered as a headless layer, so the interface stays in the customer's product. A sandbox through the Embedder Portal and an API reference let developers test before a briefing call.
A changelog is public.
Two entities, one brand
A UK programme contracts with Weavr Ltd and an EU programme with Weavr (Europe) Ltd. The footer states this in full.
Visa collaboration on virtual cards for travel acquirers appears in its newsroom.
Limitations to Consider
Weavr is not a processor you bring your own BIN to; programmes run on partner issuers, and for the EU that is Paynetics AD, so the regulatory chain has an extra link. Pricing is not shown. It targets B2B software, so consumer card launches are outside the pitch. For a direct licence holder, see Paynetics or Solaris.
Who Should Use Weavr
B2B SaaS vendors in the UK and EU that want expense, benefit or supplier cards inside their product without handling licences.
