Sumsub, the global full-cycle verification platform, and ComplyAdvantage, a provider of AI-driven financial crime compliance solutions, have announced a strategic partnership to enhance anti-money laundering (AML) screening for compliance teams worldwide.

How the integration works

ComplyAdvantage’s AI-native Mesh platform will serve as the foundational intelligence layer powering Sumsub’s AML screening across its Know-Your-Customer (KYC), Know-Your-Business (KYB), and Transaction Monitoring products. Mesh combines entity resolution, financial crime risk data, and enterprise-scale threat detection to deliver a more comprehensive view of risk.

The partnership also introduces Mesh Bring Your Own Key (BYOK), allowing Sumsub customers to connect their own ComplyAdvantage Mesh API credentials directly into the Sumsub platform — giving compliance teams greater flexibility and control over their workflows.

Why this matters for compliance teams

As regulatory requirements tighten across jurisdictions, organisations face growing pressure to manage sanctions screening, politically exposed person (PEP) checks, and watchlist monitoring in real time and with increasing precision. The integration aims to improve screening accuracy, reduce false positives, and streamline hit reviews within a single platform.

“Compliance teams don’t need more tools — they need one powerful system that does it all,” said Andrew Novoselsky, Chief Product Officer at Sumsub. “With ComplyAdvantage Mesh fully embedded into our platform, we’re redefining how compliance operates.”

Mark Watson, Chief Technology and Product Officer at ComplyAdvantage, highlighted the speed advantage of the Mesh platform: sanctions changes hit its pipeline in under a minute and are available for screening within hours, compared to the one-to-two day delays still common across much of the industry.

Mutual benefits for both customer bases

For existing ComplyAdvantage Mesh customers, the deal opens access to Sumsub’s review tools and case management capabilities while continuing to use Mesh as their primary intelligence source. Sumsub counts over 4,000 companies among its customers; ComplyAdvantage serves more than 3,000 enterprises across 75 countries.
