How account fraud can impact you

Fake account creation
Block sign-ups using disposable emails, virtual phone numbers, masked IPs, and suspicious devices as you track their digital footprint
Duplicate and multi-accounting
Detect the same user opening multiple accounts to exploit referrals, bonuses, or limits
Bot-driven sign-ups
Identify automation tools, emulators, and scripted environments designed to mass-create accounts
Mule-ready accounts
Stop disposable accounts created to move funds later by linking identities, devices, and networks early

How Sumsub prevents account fraud

Prescreen users instantly with digital footprint checks
  • At registration, Sumsub analyzes email and phone risk, IP and geo signals, and device characteristics, all without adding friction for legitimate users.
  • All trusted digital footprints are either instantly verified or undergo light verification.
Detect bot-driven sign-ups and multi-accounting
  • Device Intelligence and Fraud Network Detection reveal account farming patterns, including bot-like environments
  • Abnormal signup velocity and repeated use of the same device, network, or location across multiple accounts are flagged
Link accounts and stop coordinated fraud networks
  • By using signals such as fingerprints, IP/geo patterns, and device attributes, uncover duplicate account rings that can appear legitimate on their own.
  • Block, step-up, or investigate with fraud network detection at the cluster level.
Step up to User Verification only when necessary
  • When risks spike, document and biometric checks are triggered to prevent impersonation, synthetic identities, and repeat attempts.
  • Easily follow the ‘one person for one account’ policy, without enforcing verification for everyone, saving on your verification expenses.
Take action on risk with no-code workflows
  • Choose to automate decisions end-to-end, or use the risk assessment as input and apply actions yourself.
  • Suspicious activity is escalated into Case Management, allowing for faster investigations with full context, consistent decision-making, and an audit trail.
