Sumsub
Product sources reviewedIdentity partially verifiedSumsub 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.
Sumsub is an active multi-entity supplier brand, not one legal company. Its terms updated May 21, 2026 map customers to five jurisdiction-specific service providers. Sum and Substance Ltd.'s audited 2025 accounts identify Cyprus company Raritex Trade Ltd as its immediate parent and the economic and legal proprietor of group intellectual property, while describing the UK company as a distributor and reseller. Sumsub separately calls Raritex the group's holding company and main operating entity and says it owns 100% of the UK company. That wider group description is vendor-reported; the reviewed filing independently supports the UK parent and IP relationship, not every group entity or customer contract.
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, but its AML screening documentation says the underlying screening data comes from providers such as ComplyAdvantage, World-Check One, or Quantifind. Those datasets and any separately integrated crypto analytics must not be described as Sumsub-owned.
Sumsub is treated as an active brand rather than one legal company. Current legal materials identify different group entities as possible service providers, so the contracting entity and data role must be taken from the customer agreement.
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 and SDK access to the contracted verification and AML modules, with webhooks and dashboard review for configured events and results. The service notice makes the client controller and Sumsub processor for client-instructed verification, while Sumsub describes separate controller purposes for service development and related functions. These roles depend on processing purpose and do not make the parties automatically joint controllers.

- SumsubVendorchecked 2026-07-11— The May 29, 2026 notice describes Sumsub as a group that includes Sum and Substance Ltd. and affiliated companies rather than as one universal contracting entity.
- SumsubVendorchecked 2026-07-11— The version updated May 21, 2026 maps the service provider to the customer's jurisdiction: Sum and Substance Ltd. for the United Kingdom, SUMSUB TECHNOLOGY LLC for the United Arab Emirates, Sumsub Inc. for the United States, Sumsub APAC Pte. Ltd. for Singapore and Indonesia, and SUMSUB TECH LTD for other listed jurisdictions. Earlier customers can remain subject to the service-provider definition in the version they originally accepted.

- Sum and Substance Ltd. / UK Companies HouseFilingchecked 2026-07-13— Audited accounts made up to December 31, 2025 identify Raritex Trade Ltd, Cyprus company HE369578, as the UK company's immediate parent and the economic and legal proprietor of group intellectual property.

- SumsubVendorchecked 2026-07-13— The current vendor statement calls Raritex Trade Ltd the holding company of the Sumsub Group and its main operating entity and says it owns 100% of Sum and Substance Ltd.

- SumsubVendorchecked 2026-07-13— The service-delivery notice updated March 19, 2026 says the client is controller and Sumsub is processor for client-instructed verification, while Sumsub acts as controller for separate stated purposes such as service development and improvement. These are purpose-specific roles, not a blanket joint-controller allocation.
