Emburse Pay Release Notes November 13, 2026

This release adds trust checks before payments in entities that require strong customer authentication (SCA), a read-only Access Protection view, and clearer Payment Activity counts and connection status. These changes build on the unified Emburse Pay workspace released on September 17, 2026.

Highlights

  • Trusted recipients: Payments are unavailable until each selected recipient is a trusted beneficiary when you pay from an entity that requires strong customer authentication.

  • Access Protection: See who can view balances and move money for an entity on the read-only Access Protection tab. Roles remain assigned in Emburse Enterprise.

  • Payment Activity counts: Successful Payments and Failed Payments on History count each payment from the last 30 days.

  • Transaction authentication: Enrolled users complete transaction authentication setup from Payment Management. Availability expands as rollout continues for your organization.

Features

Paying Trusted Recipients in SCA Entities

When you pay from an entity that requires strong customer authentication (SCA), the Pay and Review & Pay actions are unavailable while your selection includes a recipient who is not a trusted beneficiary. A message explains which recipients need trust. Trust the recipient in Account Management first, then pay. Payments from entities that do not require SCA and the Awaiting Release action behave as before.

Access Protection Tab

To review who can view balances and move money for an entity, open the Access Protection tab in Account Management. The tab lists each user's name, role, status, and next verification date. The tab is view-only: you cannot add, edit, or remove users from it. Roles are assigned in Emburse Enterprise.

Improvements

SCA Visibility for Non-Enrolled Users

Users who are not enrolled in strong customer authentication no longer see live Airwallex balances or strong-customer-authentication actions, such as trusting a beneficiary. Enrolled users continue to see these surfaces.

Payment Activity History Counts

On the History tab in Payment Activity, the Successful Payments and Failed Payments tiles count each individual payment from the last 30 days. A payment group that contains several payments now counts as several instead of one.

Airwallex Connection Status

An Airwallex connection stays active when a request for information does not restrict the account. The connection pauses only when the Airwallex account itself needs action or is suspended.

Transaction Authentication Setup

Enrolled users can complete transaction authentication setup from Payment Management. The setup walks through a passcode, verification, and recovery codes. Availability expands as rollout continues for your organization.

Bug Fixes

Wise Recipient Sync

If you sync a recipient to Wise that is not a bank transfer, the sync previously returned a server error. The sync now returns a clear rejection message that explains the recipient type is not supported.
