Reading time:

Building trusted financial infrastructure requires more than efficient payment rails: it requires a robust compliance framework from day one.

In line with this positioning, Unblock has integrated Sumsub, a leading identity verification and compliance platform. The partnership delivers fast, compliant and fraud-resistant onboarding, ensuring secure and compliant payment transactions.

The move reinforces our commitment to delivering secure, transparent and institutional-grade payment infrastructure.

How Sumsub works

Sumsub provides AI-powered global identity verification that helps financial institutions streamline KYC and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) processes.

  • Real-Time global ID validation: Sumsub validates more than 14,000 document types across over 220 countries and territories, combining document checks, biometric matching, liveness detection and fraud signals to support secure, localized identity verification (e.g., CPF in Brazil).

  • Built-in KYC/AML compliance: KYC, KYB and AML controls are embedded directly into the verification workflow, enabling identity and business verification, sanctions and PEP screening, risk assessment and structured audit trails.

  • Automated onboarding: Automated validation and risk-based decisioning, directing only exceptions and higher-risk cases to manual review. This reduces operational friction and accelerates onboarding without compromising security.

By embedding these verification and compliance controls directly into the onboarding infrastructure, companies can reduce reliance on manual processes and external tools, accelerate onboarding and create a faster, more secure and fraud-resistant customer experience.

How Unblock uses Sumsub

At Unblock, Sumsub supports our KYB, KYC and AML processes, enhancing our user onboarding experience and strengthening our security framework.

By integrating SumSub's platform directly into our user registration process, we've achieved a balance between rigorous verification and user convenience.
