Sumsub, a Regtech company that helps businesses stay compliant and fight digital fraud, “establishes its first US office in Miami, Florida, launching new services available for US customers.”
Now local clients can “add Social Security Number (SSN) checks to verify users through Social Security records.” SSN verification also “enables background checks, which can immediately spot customer red flags, including bankruptcies, liens, criminal records, etc.”
The global identity verification market is “expected to see growth of 24% over the next four years, with North America accounting for 30%.” The US market is “hard to navigate, with each state proposing a unique set of compliance laws and many US businesses already operate globally or plan to expand to foreign markets, which brings additional regulatory complications.”
Sumsub has “developed a product that allows companies to stay compliant with varying KYC, KYB and AML regulations, maintain a high level of fraud protection, and achieve high conversion rates both in US and global markets.” The company is “already a leading performer in the US market, with an average user verification speed of 87.05 seconds and a pass rate of 91.64%.”
With the location in Miami, Sumsub plans “to build its presence not only in the USA, but also in Latin America.” In recent years, Latin American governments “have increasingly invested in identity and access management (IAM) security services to protect data in various end-use industries, such as finance, insurance, banking, healthcare, and others. “This is “boosting demand for KYC providers, and Sumsub aims to help LATAM clients expand globally.”
Andrew Sever, co-founder & CEO of Sumsub, said:
“We are thrilled to establish a strong presence in the Americas and provide tailored services to our local clients. Our unique experience of working with complicated markets in 220+ countries and territories differentiates us from other industry players. With our mission to empower verification, we aim to help both regulated and non-regulated businesses in the Americas easily scale to international markets by delivering end-to-end identity orchestration solutions.”
With its expansion into the Americas, Sumsub aims “to target fintech, gaming, trading, transportation and crypto—industries where the company already processes millions of verifications annually for its 2000+ global clientbase.”
