FinTech Brex on Tuesday (Aug. 17) announced it has acquired Israel-based commerce API company Weav for $50 million as part of a plan to expand its global footprint by bringing an innovation hub to Israel.
“After a successful partnership, we are thrilled to make Weav part of our core team,” Henrique Dubugras, co-founder and CEO of Brex, said in the joint announcement. “Weav’s technology helps make Brex even better for our customers.”
Brex’s credit cards, business cash accounts, spend management and bill pay software will soon be part of an expanded suite of product and service offerings that are integrated into a business-focused financial platform. The Weav acquisition will accelerate the integration process, according to the announcement.
“Our goal has always been to connect businesses, creators and other entrepreneurs with FinTech to expand financial access, and this aligns with Brex’s mission,” said Nadav Lidor, Weav’s co-founder and CEO, who will be leading Brex’s growing team in Israel. “We’re excited for our future together.”
