Businesses can now get their compliance and fraud protection measures checked to receive the proof of their efforts towards digital safety
Sumsub created a public registry for trustworthy businesses, offering selected Risk Intolerant* badges to recognize anti-fraud and compliance champions among fintech, crypto, gaming, edtech and mobility companies. The initiative is set to shift attention from public scandals and failures towards silent heroes doing it right, turning unseen efforts into visible proof of accomplishment and celebrating their commitment to pushing the world to a safer digital future. With dozens of companies having received the “Vanguard” Risk Intolerant badges after Sumsub assessment, selected ones including Exness, Kaizen and Moove were awarded with a “Sentinel” badge, and some prospects got the highest possible recognition – like Coinlist, Mercuryo and Wirex – and proudly took a “Titan” badge.
According to Sumsub 2025 Fraud Exposure Survey, 40% of global businesses reported being victims of fraud. The share of sophisticated fraud has increased by 180% over 2024-2025, reaching 28% of all detected attacks. With more complex fraud on the rise, it is becoming an utmost priority for firms to stay protected and comply with evolving AML/CFT regulations.
Now that scammers increasingly rely on AI in their operations, even less frequent attacks are able to cause significant harm, from stealing company assets and intellectual property to hacking customer profiles and getting access to their personal data. The consequences of such schemes are devastating: businesses lose money, operational integrity and, eventually, customer loyalty.
When trust has become such an invaluable part of the digital economy, recognizing the efforts of organizations who take it really seriously and prioritize safety should help both end-users and other businesses navigate the complexities of compliance, anti-fraud and technology. Sumsub’s initiative is aimed at providing this guidance, fostering the culture of trust and tracked credibility.
“Business is no longer about only growth numbers: its long-term success relies much on reputation, transparency and trust. With our Risk Intolerant project, we’re celebrating the resilience our clients build with us in the fight against fraud. We want to shift the narrative around risk and compliance from reactive to aspirational, and the way we see it is to spotlight the companies doing the hard, often invisible work of managing risks proactively before they turn into crisis,” says Vitaliy Gribanov, Senior Brand and Creative Director at Sumsub. “To promote industry-leading practices among peers, we’re taking the lead to assess KYC, AML, fraud prevention and compliance systems of willing participants and provide recognition for those whose efforts in risk mitigation are comprehensive, up-to-date and successful.”
