The platform is especially helpful when scaling to new markets, and their regional compliance knowledge is impressive. We've been able to reduce manual review times significantly and improve our conversion rate. I’d recommend Sumsub to any fintech or Web3 product looking to streamline verification. Pros The automation of KYC flows and the flexibility to customize verification rules per region have saved us countless hours. The user interface is clean and intuitive, and the integration process was smooth thanks to great API documentation. Cons Sometimes, support response time can be slightly delayed during high-demand periods. We'd also appreciate more transparency in pricing for custom volumes. Review Source OF Olena F. Compliance Team Lead Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly recommended all-in-one service " September 20, 2024 5.0 We started cooperation in 2019, and have been satisfied with the service since then. Of course, there might be some inaccuracies in some checks, but they are rare. The product is simple in use and offers a lot of useful features. Pros Sumsub is constantly expanding their product, offering more and more features Cons 1\. New applicant page interface is significantly worse than the old one. 2. Sometimes support team requires too much time to answer some questions.

Support manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Does its job" January 13, 2022 3.0 Pros Able to detect fraud and fits kyc needs for onboarding users Cons Needing to press several buttons on multiple documents to uncheck something before clearing the examined user profile, for example to change a document status to approved. Sometimes there are bugs, it allowed users with multiple profiles if they sent in different ID (for example, in different languages on the ID and the system approved both despite having facial matched selfies). Sometimes foreign language docs date of birth is misread. Can't see for sure why someone is blacklisted Review Source CO Catalina O. Compliance Officer Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Your Perfect Ally" September 19, 2024 5.0 The relationship with sumsub leverages our compliance system, having reliable and fast results that allow us to grow day by day. Additionally, their response and support is excellent, they care about providing agile and effective responses Pros It is an extremely reliable ally. Understands a company's compliance needs well and meets them holistically Cons Everything with sumsub has been excellent Alternatives considered [Chainalysis KYT](https://www.capterra.com/p/254899/Chainalysis-KYT/) Reason for choosing Sumsub Meets all the requirements we were looking for Review Source OP Oļegs P. CCO Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best solution on the market overall. " December 23, 2021 4.0 Useful tool with very little alternatives on the market. Will keep using. Pros Feature - rich, The price is affordable and the support is great! The product development is in progress and the tool is getting better. Cons Periodic issues with processing speed. Insufficient explanation of various features causes misunderstanding from the side of audit. Mistakes in the legal field (e.g. wrong fields were blurred when this wasn't necessary, etc.) The lack of ability to screen company names against sanction lists apart from the full KYB.

Review Source MH Michael H. Business Analyst Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SumSub is a great starting point for small FinTech startups" January 13, 2022 5.0 They are great for compliance and KYC! Pros SumSub is easy to use, and they charge based on number of checks with no minimum, which makes it great for small startups who don't have the volume for other products. Their API's are straight forward, and their admin interface is effective. Cons The stats and bulk views aren't very effective. It's hard to get a sense of how easily our users are finding the experience. We think that most of them find it easy, but we don't actually have any metrics to know, except the number of complaints we get. Which is small, but the ones who do complain are generally stuck and unable to continue.

Review Source FA Freddy A. SYSTEMS SPECIALIST Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great SDK and painless integration" January 13, 2026 5.0 Overall, Sumsub has been a massive time-saver for our operations team. Before integrating them, we were manually reviewing a large percentage of documents, which slowed down our user onboarding significantly. The integration was smooth, and once we set up the verification logic in their 'Workflow Builder,' it essentially ran on autopilot. We now verify users in under a minute with a very high pass rate. While the pricing structure took a moment to understand fully, the ROI in terms of saved man-hours and increased conversion rates has been undeniable. It feels like a mature, robust platform rather than just a simple KYC tool. Pros The documentation is top-notch. We got the Web SDK up and running in a staging environment in less than an afternoon. The webhooks are reliable, and the sandbox mode is actually useful for testing edge cases. Cons Some of the more advanced API features could be better documented. Occasional false positives require manual review, but the dashboard makes it easy to handle them Review Source TK Tatsiana K. KYC/Customer Service Advisor Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Sumsub KYC/AML Platform short review by KYC Advisor " January 14, 2022 5.0 As a KYC Advisor I have been using Sumsub KYC/AML Platform during last year and keep doing this under different credentials of a Customer Service Advisor on another product at the same company. Until now, my functional responsibilities within SamSub platform implied, mainly, verification the KYC documents (submitted by the clients) that got into the Spam section, as well as documents that were automatically checked by robotic software (sent for Resubmission). Pros This software is quite easy to use, all relevant information is structed in appropriate sections and it has, from my point of view, intuitive user interface. As far as it seems to me as a daily user, such a product is flexible to introduction of required changes and amendments in accordance to the existing business processes which is extremely vital for such a tool. Cons I would highlight some shortages in identification of submitted KYC documents (acceptance of inappropriate documents or, on the contrary, refusal of suitable KYC documents) which often go to Spam section. This can also refer to client applications which were automatically sent back for Resubmission of documents (KYC documents were reviewed by this robotic software). In my experience, in overall quantity of client applications the number of incorrectly rejected or accepted documents varies on average up to 10%. Nevertheless, before pointing this out as a flaw, the verification criteria for the system are to be double checked and updated on the regular basis. Since, I am not immersed in the details of this process due to the level of my duties, it is difficult for me to judge whether the inaccuracies I have indicated can be attributed to the shortcomings of this software. As I noticed, this product seems to have a good adaptability to the business process changes considering full scope of instruments this software shows.

Which is great for our IT area. Pros It has all the bells and whistles we can ask and if it is integrated through web (not API) it is almost an out of the box solution. Cons The integration through API is not as flexible for independent services, for example: biometrics and background checks are one workflow and not be able to use each service independently :( Reason for choosing Sumsub Customer service is awesome and very responsive. Review Source GM Gergana M. Front-End Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy integration with only few steps" January 18, 2022 5.0 Pros From a developer's point of view, it was important for me to be able to configure, integrate and test the overall process in a test environment. Luckily Sumsub supports that and when we were ready with our SaaS deploying and connecting Sumsub to production was really a piece of cake. Identity verification, liveness check and fraud check are the most important features for us as customers. Cons The only thing that baffled us was that the translation keys were different on the staging and on the live environments. It was an issue at first but we managed to handle it. My advice would be to regularly check for updates because the platform is evolving and sometimes there're new translations that have to be adapted and added for the custom added languages which are our case.

And Really good product. Well done to the developers and the management. Pros So modern. The api is very easy to use. SDK's are updated, Modern. Very happy that we chose this KYC Cons I found that the documentation is not always 100% accurate. So there were cases where I follow the documentation and the samples were wrong. Perfect example is the questionnaire translations. The syntax on the documentation was wrong and this made me spend a lot of time troubleshooting. I later realised when sumsub support helped me out. the syntax they gave me was different than online doc. I also find the chat support not very efficient. (Not because of the support persons but mostly because I think it seems to be for first line support only) Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
