Powering a people-friendly digital future

Our mission

At Sumsub, we believe in a safe, accessible, and inclusive digital future for users and businesses alike. By eliminating fraud and verification hurdles, we aim to create a world where anyone—regardless of age, location, or computing skills—can securely access and use any service.

The Power
of One

To achieve this, we are developing a single, secure verification platform that is efficient, compliant, and free of country-specific barriers

One platform

We’ve gathered all the verification, compliance, and case management tools you need in one place. This means there’s no need to opt for multiple solutions. Sumsub keeps ahead of the evolving compliance and fraud landscape, so you don’t have to.

One Journey

Verification doesn’t stop at onboarding. We secure every step of the customer journey, from initial screening to high-risk transactions at a later stage. This way, verification is continuous, and account takeovers or sudden suspicious activity are not a danger anymore.

One World

Sumsub is well-traveled. We recognize any document type, language, and script. Our clients reach global markets and onboard users worldwide regardless of location, jurisdiction, or language.

Roadmap

Before

Sumsub began its journey in 2015 as a graphic editor-detecting tool. It quickly became a powerful KYC solution known for its speed, precision, and ambition to be more than just that. Read our backstory to learn more about how we got where we are today.

Now

Over a billion users verified. 5,000 fraud samples analyzed daily. Precision that reaches 100% for any check. That’s what Sumsub’s One Verification Platform is all about. Thanks to our in-house AI technology, we can verify users, businesses, and transactions all in one place—at any stage of the lifecycle.

Tomorrow

The digital world must be people-friendly and open to everyone. Sumsub’s mission is to fight digital identity biases, perfect our own AI to fight sophisticated fraud, and bring forward paperless verification across the world.
