### "Great SDK and painless integration"

January 16, 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

### "Seamless and Scalable KYC Solution for Fast-Growing Teams"

July 23, 2025

4.0

Sumsub has been a reliable partner in helping us onboard users quickly and stay compliant with global regulations. 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.

### "Highly recommended all-in-one service "

September 26, 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.

### "Does its job"

January 14, 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

### "The best solution on the market overall. "

December 24, 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.

### "SumSub is a great starting point for small FinTech startups"

January 20, 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.

### "Sumsub KYC/AML Platform short review by KYC Advisor "

January 20, 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.
