Sumsub
Sumsub supplies one integration layer for identity verification, business verification, AML screening, transaction monitoring, and case management. Ongoing AML screening rechecks people or entities against selected data sources. Transaction Monitoring analyzes submitted activity, while Case Management supports investigation, assignment, escalation, records, and reporting workflows.
Page updated
Sumsub is a multi-entity supplier brand. Its May 2026 contract assigns customers to one of five jurisdiction-specific service providers unless earlier or bespoke terms apply. Cyprus company Raritex Trade Ltd is the immediate parent of Sum and Substance Ltd., owns group intellectual property, and uses the UK company as a distributor and reseller. Raritex is also the group holding company and main operating entity. The full group structure is undisclosed, and the customer counterparty depends on the order.

Verification and AML Platform
Multi ProductMixedAvailability: Standalone and BundledSumsub supplies one integration layer for identity verification, business verification, AML screening, transaction monitoring, and case management. Ongoing AML screening rechecks people or entities against selected data sources. Transaction Monitoring analyzes submitted activity, while Case Management supports investigation, assignment, escalation, records, and reporting workflows.
The ownership model is mixed. Sumsub operates the verification, workflow, transaction-monitoring, and case-management software, while providers such as ComplyAdvantage, World-Check One, or Quantifind supply the underlying AML screening data. Those datasets and any separately integrated crypto analytics are not Sumsub-owned.
Sumsub is an active brand rather than one legal company. The contracting entity and data role vary by customer jurisdiction and agreement.
Products
Integration: Operators can connect through Sumsub REST APIs, web and mobile SDKs, webhooks, and dashboard workflows. Transaction Monitoring and Case Management have their own API resources in addition to the applicant-verification flow. The selected AML data provider, enabled modules, thresholds, human-review process, and customer decision logic are configuration and contract choices.
Delivery options
API
Delivery modelAPI and SDK access to the contracted verification and AML modules, with webhooks and dashboard review for configured events and results. The client is controller and Sumsub is processor for client-instructed verification; Sumsub acts as controller for separate purposes such as service development. Roles are purpose-specific and do not automatically make the parties joint controllers.

Procurement record
Current product boundaries and the terms that still have to be fixed in the signed order or service agreement.
Known is usable now. Contract specific changes by order or market. Not disclosed has no usable standard term. Unknown remains unresolved. Outside provider scope is handled by the operator or another supplier.
Contract and supplier
- Contracting Sumsub companyContract specific
- The customer jurisdiction and accepted contract version determine the Sumsub service provider. The order must name the signing, invoicing, support, data-processing, and IP-licensing companies.
- Purchased product boundaryContract specific
- Identity verification, KYB, AML screening, ongoing monitoring, transaction monitoring, and case management are separable capabilities. The order must list each enabled module, workflow, environment, user allowance, and support route.
Implementation
- API, SDK, webhook, and dashboard scopeKnown
- Applicant verification uses REST APIs, web or mobile SDKs, webhooks, and dashboard review. Transaction Monitoring and Case Management add their own resources, so acceptance tests must cover every purchased route and status transition.
Operating responsibilities
- Controller, processor, and separate-purpose rolesKnown
- The client controls client-instructed verification and sets its retention period; Sumsub processes that work for the client. Sumsub also controls specified service-development and improvement processing, so the data map must separate those purposes.
- Onboarding and reporting decisionsKnown
- The operator owns the customer-due-diligence rules and final account, risk, escalation, and regulatory-reporting decisions. The contract should identify every automated step that requires human review or operator approval.
Operations and service
- AML intelligence providerContract specific
- Screening can use ComplyAdvantage, World-Check One, Quantifind, or a bring-your-own-key setup. The order must name the selected dataset, account holder, territories, permitted use, refresh cadence, result fields, fallback, and replacement rights.
- Threshold and error-profile acceptanceNot disclosed
- A production acceptance baseline for document decisions, biometric checks, name matching, false positives, false negatives, manual-review rates, and transaction alerts is not established. Buyers need results for their exact population and configuration.
- Investigation record and exportKnown
- Case Management supports assignment, escalation, investigation records, and regulatory-report workflows. Required case fields, attachments, audit history, exports, report formats, and authority submission steps remain order and configuration items.
Commercial terms
- Module, check, and review chargesNot disclosed
- Setup, platform, environment, verification, screening, monitoring, case, manual-review, data-provider, overage, support, and minimum charges are not established for an enterprise gambling deployment.
Market and approval scope
- Market, data, and biometric acceptanceContract specific
- Document coverage, database checks, biometric permissions, AML datasets, transfer routes, and regulatory acceptance vary by jurisdiction. Each launch market needs a signed coverage and lawful-use schedule.
Exit and portability
- Retention, return, and deletionContract specific
- The client sets service-delivery retention, while Sumsub can retain specified data for separate lawful purposes. The agreement must define export format, transfer timing, deletion evidence, backups, litigation holds, fraud records, and continuing controller-purpose retention.
Strengths
- + Watchlist monitoring, transaction monitoring, and case management are separate capabilities rather than one generic AML feature.
- + The iGaming workflow uses the same modules available in the general platform.
- + Named external AML data providers make the data-ownership boundary clear for supported configurations.
What to verify in procurement
- ! The Sumsub brand can represent different legal service providers; the entity, data role, and applicable terms are agreement-specific.
- ! The client-controller and Sumsub-processor allocation applies to configured service delivery. Sumsub has separate controller purposes, so the deployment data map and DPA must allocate each purpose.
- ! Screening-list content is supplied by third parties, and data-provider choice can affect result fields, availability, and additional integration cost.
- ! Final decision responsibility is contract-specific, and no global market or commercial schedule is available.
- ! Accuracy, speed, coverage, client-count, and savings figures do not predict results for a new deployment.
Questions about Sumsub
Product, delivery, and company details that affect an operator order.
Which Sumsub company should appear in the order?
The customer jurisdiction and accepted contract version determine the Sumsub service provider. The order must name the signing and invoicing company, support provider, data processor, and intellectual-property licensor. Earlier customers can remain under terms with a different provider, so the brand name alone is not a sufficient counterparty description.
Are Sumsub identity, AML, and transaction tools one module?
No. Identity verification, business verification, AML screening, ongoing monitoring, Transaction Monitoring, and Case Management are separable capabilities. The order should list every enabled workflow, environment, user allowance, third-party screening dataset, webhook, manual-review step, and support route instead of assuming that one verification package includes the full platform.
