Launch of Sumsub Mobile SDK: First Impressions Count!
In a groundbreaking move, Sumsub has launched its Mobile SDK, a game-changer designed to simplify and secure the user onboarding process for platforms running messaging and chatbot applications. By embedding a native, interactive KYC (Know Your Customer) flow directly into these interfaces, Sumsub aims to transform the way users get started with a service for the better [1].
The Sumsub Mobile SDK's key features include automated document capture, real-time checks, liveness detection, device intelligence, and seamless integration into existing tech stacks [2]. This innovative approach allows for swift and secure identity verification, almost instantly confirming user identity through a liveness check that verifies face, emotions, and voice [2].
During the onboarding process, the bot inquires about the user's citizenship, and requires them to look into the camera and say several random words to ensure face and voice liveness [3]. The system also cross-checks text from the document in third-party databases to ensure its legitimacy, and monitors fraudulent patterns in users' behavior while checking ID with a proprietary database of fraudsters [4].
Moreover, the Sumsub Mobile SDK performs CDD (Customer Due Diligence) checks in global sanctions and watchlists, PEPs (Politically Exposed Persons), and adverse media [5]. It checks for traces of retouching and photoshop in ID documents, and uses AI-based technologies and third-party and proprietary data to verify user identity [6].
The verification process, on average, takes less than 2 minutes, ensuring a fast and user-friendly experience that reduces drop-offs during onboarding by making the process native to the app interface [2]. The system is designed to meet customers where they already are, currently in messaging and chatbots, providing a secure and engaging user onboarding experience [1].
By combining these capabilities, Sumsub's Mobile SDK delivers secure, compliant, and smooth onboarding experiences directly within the user interface [1][2]. Some clients have already started using the Sumsub Mobile SDK, saving end-users time and eliminating frustration [7]. The SDK can be seamlessly integrated into Android or iOS apps, with quick integration (within an hour) via a mobile SDK or Web SDK, ensuring minimal disruption and 99.996% uptime [2].
In summary, Sumsub's Mobile SDK offers a revolutionary approach to user onboarding, embedding a native, interactive KYC flow into applications like messaging and chatbots. By leveraging automated document capture, biometric checks, device intelligence, and real-time fraud detection, Sumsub delivers secure, compliant, and smooth onboarding experiences directly inside the user interface [1][2]. This innovative solution is particularly useful in fintech, crypto, mobility, and other sectors requiring fast, compliant identity verification [1][2][3].
The Sumsub Mobile SDK, a game-changer for user onboarding, not only simplifies the process but also ensures security by integrating advanced cybersecurity measures such as automated document capture, real-time checks, liveness detection, device intelligence, and AI-based identity verification. Moreover, it employs technology like biometric checks (face, emotions, and voice) and real-time fraud detection to deliver secure, compliant, and smooth onboarding experiences, especially beneficial in sectors like fintech, crypto, mobility, and more.
