Lemonway's feed is mostly bank-holiday ops with one real onboarding tweak buried in it.

Current state
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).
Where it's heading
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.
Prediction
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.
