Identity and business verification with fraud, device and monitoring products across the customer lifecycle.

First accessVerification trial: 14 days and 50 checks
Commercial starting pointFraud Prevention: custom; Basic verification: 1.35 US dollars per check with 149 US dollars monthly minimum
UnitVerification; separate fraud-product terms

Businesses that need verification as part of onboarding and want to evaluate related fraud and monitoring workflows.

How the product works

Sumsub’s portfolio connects verification with fraud controls, device context and monitoring. Its Device Intelligence documentation describes separate identification and environment-risk functions, powered by Fingerprint, with SDK and configuration requirements.

From evidence to a decision

Use identity verification to answer an identity claim and ongoing risk signals to assess how the account is being used. A verified applicant can still have a compromised session later. Connect the applicant, device session and relevant events without treating the verification result as a permanent trust verdict.

What to confirm before buying

The public Basic and Compliance verification plans are not a universal price for Fraud Prevention. The pricing page lists the broader fraud product under custom scope. Minimum commitments, add-ons and the enabled SDK modules affect the actual purchase.

A useful first pilot

Test completion and exception handling for the target user populations, then trace a post-onboarding account event. Confirm which device collection is enabled, how sessions link to applicants and which reason codes and review records your team can retrieve.

Strengths to evaluate

  • Verification and fraud products in one portfolio

FAQ

Does 1.35 US dollars buy the full fraud platform?

No. That is the Basic verification unit price with a monthly minimum. Fraud Prevention has separate custom terms.

Does completed KYC make later account activity safe?

Identity verification is one control. Session changes, compromised access and later actions still require appropriate monitoring.
