Handling Card Sensitive Data
The full card number, CVV, and card PIN are considered PCI-sensitive data and therefore need to be transmitted and stored securely. Weavr’s security model offers an out-of-the-box solution so that this information never touches your server and you can comply with the lowest level of PCI compliance. You can learn how to use Weavr’s security model here.
If your company and application are already PCI DSS compliant, you can opt out of using Weavr’s security model and instead receive sensitive data in plain text.
Card Modes
A card mode determines the way the card accesses the funds. Weavr MultiMulti Weavr Multi is an embedded finance solution that allows you to integrate financial services into your own application, providing a seamless experience for your customers. It enables you to offer managed accounts, managed cards, and transactions without requiring financial expertise. supports two card modes:
- Prepaid modePrepaid Mode A card mode where the card has its own balance and purchases are authorised based on this balance. Cards in prepaid mode can be topped up with funds and support transactions such as transfers and sends. If there are insufficient funds, purchases are declined until the card has sufficient funds. – the card has a balance and purchases are authorised on the basis of this balance
- Debit modeDebit Mode A card mode where the card does not have a balance of its own.
