Case Study: Weavr strengthens embedded finance security with Approov

Weavr secures embedded finance APIs with Approov's real-time attestation and dynamic certificate pinning

Weavr, a London-based fintech company specializing in embedded finance solutions, faced the challenge of securing its financial APIs in a highly regulated sector. Their headless delivery model, which allows customers to embed finance into their own apps, expanded the attack surface. They needed to ensure only legitimate, untampered applications could access their services to meet compliance requirements like PSD2 and protect against fraud. This led them to partner with Approov for a mobile security solution.

Approov provided a multi-layered security strategy for Weavr. Their solution included real-time app attestation to verify every API request and dynamic certificate pinning to eliminate Man-in-the-Middle vulnerabilities. This ensured only genuine applications on trusted devices could access Weavr's services. As a result, Weavr gained the ability to securely scale its platform across diverse customer environments, maintaining operational integrity and demonstrating a strong defense against automated threats targeting the fintech sector.
