Founders & story · from Sumsub’s own dossier

Founded 2015 in London as an image-manipulation detection tool, Sumsub evolved into a full-cycle KYC/KYB/AML verification platform now processing 2M+ verifications per day for 4,000+ clients. In 2026 the company is repositioning from 'identity verification vendor' to 'AI-powered trust infrastructure' — bundling KYC, KYB, transaction monitoring, Travel Rule, fraud prevention, and case management with an AI copilot (Summy) and MCP server for agentic integration. Group structure has consolidated around Raritex Trade Ltd (Cyprus) as the primary contracting entity.
