Sumsub, a full-cycle verification and anti-fraud platform, has partnered with Data Zoo, a provider of global identity verification data, to enhance compliance capabilities and fraud prevention tools for financial institutions worldwide.
The collaboration was formed in response to rising regulatory pressures and the growing threat of sophisticated fraud. With financial institutions under pressure to meet compliance obligations while navigating fragmented data systems, the two companies aim to deliver a seamless, all-in-one solution that simplifies onboarding and strengthens security.
Sumsub offers a comprehensive suite of verification tools, including user onboarding, anti-money laundering (AML) screening, business client verification, fraud detection, and ongoing transaction monitoring—all accessible via a single platform. The company helps businesses ensure regulatory compliance while reducing the friction associated with traditional verification methods.
Data Zoo contributes its global identity verification data network, supporting Sumsub’s technology by enhancing its ability to distinguish genuine user behaviour from fraudulent activity. By integrating these capabilities, the partnership enables financial firms to better detect threats and maintain high standards of trust and compliance.
This joint effort will allow both companies to offer enhanced value to financial services firms, FinTechs and banks by improving data access, reducing operational inefficiencies, and streamlining the customer onboarding process. The partnership also addresses the growing prevalence of advanced threats such as deepfakes and post-onboarding fraud, both of which have seen significant increases globally.
Data Zoo CEO Andrew Wilson said, “Customers are increasingly seeking authoritative identity verification data combined with leading edge orchestration technology to verify customers in real-time. We are pleased to partner with Sumsub who are a recognised industry leader in innovation, bringing the latest technological advances to the market.”
Sumsub strategic partnerships representative Chris Manson said, “Partnering with Data Zoo enables us to continue helping businesses verify users and clients smoothly, while continually mitigating fraud threats. Our recent internal findings show that deepfake fraud, among other emerging AI-driven techniques, surged fourfold globally last year. While robust KYC remains essential, we see that three quarters of fraud actually occurs post-onboarding – reaffirming the need for a multi-layered approach that includes ongoing monitoring. Together with Data Zoo, we’re expanding our ability to help businesses stay compliant, fight fraud, and protect their users at each step of their journey.”
Recently, Sumsub expanded its Fraud Prevention platform by integrating advanced device intelligence capabilities from Fingerprint, aiming to strengthen real-time threat detection and stop identity fraud before it begins.
The partnership brings Fingerprint’s market-leading device intelligence to Sumsub’s full-cycle verification platform. By analysing device behaviour and network-level data beyond simple IP tracking, the solution delivers highly accurate, real-time insights into user integrity, helping businesses detect threats before they escalate into serious fraud.
With this new layer of security, companies can prevent transaction fraud, detect and block bot activity, stop multi-accounting and account takeovers, and significantly reduce KYC costs, all while preserving a smooth and simple experience for genuine users.
