FAQ

  • What is payment fraud prevention?

    Payment fraud prevention combines identity, payment ownership, device, behavioral, network, and transaction signals to detect suspicious activity and reduce fraud losses across deposits, transfers, refunds, payouts, and withdrawals.

  • What is Payment Ownership Verification?

    Payment Ownership Verification helps confirm that a payment method is linked to the expected applicant. Sumsub can compare applicant data with payment source evidence and apply the appropriate checks for bank cards, bank accounts, e-wallets, and submitted crypto wallets.

  • What payment methods can Sumsub verify?

    Sumsub supports checks for bank cards, bank accounts, e-wallets, and crypto wallets across major global and local payment schemes. The requested data and verification method depend on the payment method type and the configured flow.

  • Can Payment Ownership Verification be used after onboarding?

    Yes. Businesses can include it in onboarding or trigger it later as a step-up when a user adds or changes a payment method, requests a payout or withdrawal, or shows unusual account or transaction activity.

  • How can Sumsub help prevent payout and withdrawal fraud?

    Sumsub can detect unusual cash-out activity, newly added payment destinations, rapid deposit-to-withdrawal patterns, and other risk signals. Businesses can then trigger Payment Ownership Verification, Face Authentication, review, restrictions, or blocking before funds leave the platform.

  • Does Payment Ownership Verification replace Transaction Monitoring?

    No. Payment Ownership Verification checks the relationship between the applicant and the payment source or destination. Transaction Monitoring analyzes payment activity and patterns over time. Together, they help businesses detect risk and take the right action.

  • How does crypto wallet screening work?

    Businesses can collect wallet addresses, currencies, and chain details within the applicant flow and screen wallet risk using supported native or BYOK providers. The result can be used alongside applicant and transaction data to approve deposits, withdrawals, or on- and off-ramp activity.

  • Can Payment Ownership Verification support compliance controls?

    It can help businesses link payment sources to verified users or businesses, identify activity that conflicts with the customer profile, and maintain evidence for investigations and audits. It supports wider fraud and compliance workflows but does not replace a complete AML or transaction monitoring program.
