Sumsub can now connect with over 860 members and more than 60 international partners, which significantly expands its industry reach and potential for collaboration.
In highlighting the importance of these initiatives, Penny Chai, VP of Business Development APAC at Sumsub, stated, “We are thrilled to be part of such an exciting community that fosters collaboration and growth within the country’s fintech sector.”
Sumsub recently released its third annual Identity Fraud Report. The report indicates a worrying increase in fraud across industries and regions based on millions of verification checks. Of note, the report shows that 96% of all fraud cases occur across the crypto and fintech sectors. Sumsub has pledged to harness SFA’s robust network in providing anti-fraud products and building valuable relationships that drive both innovation and safety within the industry.
