April 2024

In this release, we have delivered a lot of updates related to Transaction monitoring, database verification, Travel Rule, business verification, and many more.

Transaction Monitoring

Rule Page: Easier to navigate

We have updated the Rule List table to clearly show how rules affect other entities. Now you will see everything you need to know without needing to open the rules separately.

What’s new?

  • A new Affects column showing if the rule is effecting any entities besides the triggered transaction:
    • Applicant — changing level, tag, OR status.
    • Case — if the rule is creating a case.
    • Transaction — if the rule is affecting other transactions, besides the one it is triggered for: changing custom property with the limit, for example.
  • The Rule Action now shows scoring.
  • There is an icon for the type of triggering transaction (finance/gambling/travel rule, etc).

One queue for all AML cases

AML Cases for applicants are now available for customers in the same queue as AML cases for counterparties in the Case Management tab. This provides a clear view of all the AML cases that require your attention, as well as a holistic table of all AML cases for your reporting purposes.

Manage the AML case reviews workflow for both types of entities on the same screen:

  • Assign to relevant officers.
  • Filter by hit type, risk label, hit country, etc.

We are still testing the Case Management tab, which will soon be available for all Sumsub customers.

WebSDK

  • Persian language support has been added to the WebSDK.
  • Unilink flow is now available for the WebSDK 2.0.

Database Verification

Mexico Data Validation via INE is now available

This new tool allows you to validate the identity of Mexican residents by matching their voting credentials to the National Electoral Institute (INE).

  • Verify user identity by comparing their Voting Card with the INE database.
  • Extract the following information: Full Name, Date of Birth, Address, Gender, INE Status.

Peru Data Validation via National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (RENIEC) is now live

How It Works:

Verification of Peru resident identity data by matching their DNI number against RENIEC and extracting the following data: Name, date of birth, inscription date, ID issue date, ID expiry date, address, and gender.

Peru Data Validation via National Superintendence of Customs and Tax Administration (SUNAT) is now available

How It Works:

Verification of Peru resident identity data by matching their DNI number against SUNAT and extracting the following data: Taxpayer identification number, name, address, tax status, taxpayer type, tax condition, and economic activity.

South Africa Address Verification powered by the South African Credit and Risk Reporting Association (SACRRA) is now available

How It Works:

Users can submit their South African national ID card or pass the Non-Doc Verification step, the system will retrieve the user’s record directly from the SACRRA database to confirm their current address.

Database Validation: New UI

Introducing an improved overview of the verification process, with important additions requested for regulatory reporting purposes.

Now you can easily view performed checks, identify the sources where user data was discovered, the results behind each data category, as well as the overall reason for applicant approval or rejection.

Travel Rule

New display and filter options for the VASPs list

Now you can see two status options for all VASPs:

  • Essential checks — shows checks through open-source intelligence.
  • Extended essential checks done — means that on top of that we have rechecked that info with a legal database, and found that it's true.

Note that Travel Rule directory members with corresponding statuses were KYB-verified by our internal due diligence team compliantly.

Binance integration for Travel Rule compliance

Sumsub has integrated the Global Travel Rule (GTR) protocol.

Now, you can carry out Travel Rule transactions with Binance fast and securely.

How can the GTR integration help you?

  • Get access to VASPs in both the Sumsub and Binance Travel Rule ecosystems with 137M+ users in total.
  • Reach counterparties even if they are not obliged to meet the Travel Rule yet.
  • Easily validate transaction data using leading technologies in the crypto compliance space.

Dashboard

Questionnaire section redesign

Big changes are going to be made to the Questionnaire section. First step is already live, with a new table for the questionnaire list.

What’s new?

  • Sorting for all columns
  • Duplicate feature

Dashboard Event log improvements

Three new events are now shown in the Event Log when some document data was modified:

  • Document data added
  • Document data deleted
  • Document data changed

New webhooks are now available in the Dev. space

The Legal Information section has been relocated to the Help menu

Previously, it resided within the Settings menu, which seemed misplaced since Legal Information is essentially static and read-only. This adjustment will make it easier to find and access.

Business verification

Company document rejection reasons were added

We have added a new info block in the top-right corner of the Company Applicant page, specifying the rejected document and related comment.

This will help you get a picture of the overall verification status without the need to scroll down to the documents section.

👍

Tip

The block is clickable and leads to the specific document section below.

Documentation

Documentation in Simplified Chinese

Simplified Chinese is now supported by our Help Center. To switch the language, use the small black box in the lower-right corner of our documentation portal.

In order to protect you from regulatory challenges, we now show you which watchlist matches are potentially dangerous.
