Sumsub

Sumsub is a leading
full-cycle verification
platform that enables
scalable compliance

From the outset, its focus has been practical: enabling identity and business verification, continuous monitoring, and compliance that adapt to changing regulations, market demands, and risk profiles without slowing growth.

Founded in 2015, Sumsub began as a tool for detecting manipulated graphics. That work quickly evolved into a fast, precise KYC solution, laying the foundation for a full-cycle verification platform. Over time, the scope expanded beyond onboarding to address fraud and compliance across the entire user lifecycle.

Today, Sumsub operates as an end-to-end verification and compliance platform, verifying more than one million people daily and blocking thousands of fraud attempts. Adaptive AI powers scalable identity operations across users, businesses, and transactions, with continuous protection replacing one-time checks as risks evolve.

To support global onboarding, Sumsub enables verification in over 55 languages and across more than 14,000 document types. This allows businesses to onboard users worldwide while maintaining security, compliance, and accessibility across markets with uneven infrastructure.

The company was founded by Andrew Sever, a trained physicist, together with his twin brothers Peter and Jacob, specialists in computer graphics and animation, and Vyacheslav Zholudev, a solution architect with a PhD in computer science. This multidisciplinary background shaped Sumsub’s product-driven and technically rigorous approach from the start.

Today, Sumsub serves more than 4,000 companies worldwide, including Vodafone, Kaizen Gaming, Duolingo, Flipper, TransferGo, Avis, and Exness, with offices and hubs in London, Singapore, Riga, Limassol, Berlin, Miami, Dubai, and Tel Aviv. Over the past three years, the company has received more than 40 industry awards from leading global organizations.

In 2025, Sumsub was recognised as a technology leader by Gartner, Forrester, and IDC.

In 2026, the company joined the World Economic Forum, contributing practical expertise to global discussions on digital trust, identity, and emerging risks.

Looking ahead, Sumsub continues to expand its platform by tailoring onboarding solutions to specific markets and strengthening fraud prevention and transaction monitoring. The goal remains unchanged: enabling secure, compliant digital journeys that scale globally and remain resilient as risks evolve.
