Overview
Sumsub was founded in 2015 and lists offices in London, Singapore, Riga, Limassol, Berlin, Miami, Dubai and Tel Aviv; it states that more than 4,000 companies use it and that it verifies more than 2 million people a day[12]. It is best known for consumer identity verification, and its KYB module extends the same platform to companies.
Sumsub states that its registry checks draw on more than 600 million commercial records and over 30,000 data sources in more than 220 countries, and that beneficial owners and directors are verified in the same flow as the registry check[10]. Corporate documents in any language are read automatically and cross-checked, with manual review by an in-house compliance team available for documents from more than 140 countries[10]. AML screening draws on more than 11,000 data sources, and periodic rechecks can be scheduled by risk level[10]. Pass rates and timings quoted on the page are Sumsub’s own figures.
The main limitation for buyers is price transparency. Sumsub publishes self-serve plans starting at US$1.35 per verification, but business verification is included only in its Custom plan, which requires a quote[11]. Because KYB sits in the same console as consumer KYC, it suits firms that onboard both individuals and businesses; firms that only need company data may find a registry specialist simpler.
