Sumsub Integration Partner
Onboard customers in minutes. Stay compliant forever.
Sumsub automates identity verification, AML screening, and ongoing compliance monitoring so financial institutions in Africa can onboard customers faster without increasing regulatory risk. Kitsilano integrates Sumsub into your product and compliance workflow.
Sumsub Integration Partner
KYC, AML, and KYB onboarding integration.
Why Sumsub
Manual KYC costs you customers and exposes you to risk.
In Africa's digital financial services market, onboarding speed is a competitive differentiator. Institutions that require customers to visit branches or submit physical documents lose accounts to competitors who onboard in three minutes on a mobile phone. Sumsub solves both sides: faster onboarding for legitimate customers, and stronger fraud and AML controls to satisfy your regulatory requirements. Kitsilano integrates Sumsub into your existing systems, core banking, CRM, and mobile app, with a full audit trail for examiners.
