What it is

Sumsub is a verification and compliance platform for checking users, businesses, and transactions, detecting fraud, and resolving cases from one dashboard. Its ID Verification supports more than 14,000 document types across 220+ countries and territories, with checks described as completing within 20 seconds. Teams can define verification levels combining documents or selfies, liveness and face matching, questionnaires, payment methods, and other checks. Integration options include a REST API, browser-based WebSDK, and MobileSDK for native iOS and Android. Sandbox and production environments are available, but production API access follows Sumsub’s verification that the integration works as expected. Listed marketplace connections include Okta, Chainalysis, and ComplyAdvantage. A 14-day free trial includes 50 checks, and customers are charged for successful verifications only. Basic starts at $1.35 a month with a $149 minimum monthly commitment; Compliance starts at $1.85 a month with a $299 minimum monthly commitment. Basic and Compliance verification is charged at full cost even if included features go unused. Sumsub was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in London, England.
