Lemonway's feed is mostly bank-holiday ops with one real onboarding tweak buried in it.
Lemonway's recent changelog is dominated by recurring operational notices: SEPA and international-transfer cutoffs around French bank holidays, a sandbox server migration tied to PCI/DSS infrastructure work, and support-availability windows. The substantive product change in the window is the removal of an OTP step from the Online Onboarding identity-verification flow (QES by Onfido).
Zluri launches SoD compliance module and a visual canvas workflow builder — entering IGA territory
Zluri shipped two major capability expansions in September 2026: a full Segregation of Duties (SoD) compliance module — with policy library, ongoing violation detection, exemptions, and integration into both access request approvals (predictive violations) and access review certifications — and Workflows v2, a visual canvas-based workflow builder with drag-and-drop branching, inline action testing, and dynamic variables across all playbook types. Both are in early access or beta.

The substantive product change in the window is the removal of an OTP step from the Online Onboarding identity-verification flow (QES by Onfido).
As a regulated French PSP, Lemonway's customer-visible work mostly orbits around banking calendar rhythms and compliance plumbing. Product evolution shows up sparingly — the OTP removal in February and Faster Pay by Bank in January are the only two real feature notes in the past four months — pointing at a roadmap focused on conversion friction in onboarding and SEPA-Instant settlement speed.
Expect the operational-notice cadence to continue around upcoming French bank holidays. Real product motion is likely to stay on the onboarding and pay-by-bank surfaces, since those are where the team has invested visibly in the past quarter; anything else would be a departure from the established pattern.
Zluri shipped two major capability expansions in September 2026: a full Segregation of Duties (SoD) compliance module — with policy library, ongoing violation detection, exemptions, and integration into both access request approvals (predictive violations) and access review certifications — and Workflows v2, a visual canvas-based workflow builder with drag-and-drop branching, inline action testing, and dynamic variables across all playbook types. Both are in early access or beta.
The SoD launch followed rapidly by its extension into two separate access workflows (requests and reviews) shows deliberate, staged rollout of a compliance audit layer that spans the full access lifecycle. Workflows v2 canvas is the infrastructure that makes complex, compliance-driven automations practical. Together these move Zluri from SaaS management and basic access provisioning into Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) territory — competing with tools like Saviynt and SailPoint at the mid-market.
SoD will expand to formal exception workflows with policy owner routing, and non-human identity (NHI) support is explicitly flagged as next in the instances/accounts release. Workflows v2 will move from beta to GA once the canvas builder stabilizes; Zluri needs it as the backbone of the new SoD automation paths.
