About Sumsub
The platform processes over 14,000 ID document templates from more than 220 countries and territories, supporting verification in rare languages and handwritten document formats. Core verification methods include document verification with OCR, facial biometrics and liveness detection, deepfake detection, proof of address, and a Non-Doc Verification product that authenticates users against government and banking databases without requiring physical documents. The Non-Doc solution is compliant in over 20 countries and can verify users in as little as 4.5 seconds, making it relevant for operators seeking to reduce onboarding friction without compromising compliance obligations. AML capabilities encompass sanctions and PEP screening, adverse media checks, transaction monitoring with over 300 pre-built rule bundles, dynamic risk scoring, and automated rescreening.
Sumsub has been recognised as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Identity Verification for two consecutive years — 2024 and 2025 — and in 2025 was also named a Leader in the Forrester Wave for Identity Verification Solutions. The company has additionally been cited in research by the United Nations and Statista, and maintains engagement with INTERPOL.

Integration & Operator Fit
Sumsub is available via SDK, API, and verification links or QR codes, with integration achievable within a single working day for operators seeking rapid deployment. The no-code Workflow Builder allows compliance teams to construct and modify verification flows, set escalation rules, and automate reviews without developer input — a practical consideration for operators managing multiple jurisdictions with varying regulatory requirements. Automated rescreening ensures that existing players are rechecked against updated sanctions lists and watchlists without manual intervention, covering the ongoing monitoring obligations that regulators in the UK, Malta, and other major jurisdictions increasingly enforce. Sumsub is the first identity verification provider to join the European Gaming and Betting Association as an associate member, a signal of the company’s deliberate positioning within the iGaming regulatory ecosystem.
For operators assessing Sumsub as a KYC and AML partner, the platform’s multi-vertical deployment record is a material consideration. The client base exceeds 4,000 organisations, including Kaizen Gaming, Bitpanda, Bybit, Vodafone, and TransferGo. The breadth of the client base means the platform’s compliance logic is stress-tested across a wide range of regulatory environments simultaneously, which translates into faster regulatory update cycles than point-solution providers can sustain. Operators building or expanding into multiple regulated markets will benefit from the Workflow Builder’s ability to configure distinct verification paths per jurisdiction without requiring parallel integrations. The platform’s fraud prevention layer — covering account takeovers, multi-accounting, and illegitimate chargebacks in addition to identity fraud — extends its value proposition beyond pure KYC into the operational fraud risk categories that compliance and operations teams in iGaming manage on a daily basis.
