Allows users to access services requiring actual-world identification via Sumsub's Single Tap KYC solution
In an effort to streamline the identity verification process and provide a more seamless experience for clients, Sumsub, a leading identity verification provider, has introduced a new solution: the Single Tap KYC (Know Your Customer) system.
This innovative system aims to eliminate time-wasting and reduce stress for clients during the verification process, while simultaneously fostering trusting business relationships. The Single Tap KYC system is designed to allow clients to get straight to business without being inconvenienced by repetitive verification processes.
The initial account verification process consists of three straightforward steps to be done only once: clients must provide essential personal data, upload a photo of themselves with their chosen identity document, such as a passport, ID card, or driver's license, and in some cases, submit additional documents like proof of address or source of funds.
Sumsub's Single Tap KYC system caters to the needs of various businesses, from online tutoring platforms that may require only a photo, to e-wallet profiles that may require additional documents. Once a client is verified in the Sumsub system, other platforms can access their information without requiring them to go through the verification process again.
The Single Tap KYC system is reminiscent of the Google or Facebook registration systems, with the introduction of the Sumsub Mobile SDK. Once a client sets up their account with Sumsub KYC, they can use it for verification on other platforms, making the process even more convenient.
While Sumsub does not offer a feature specifically named "Single Tap KYC" in its official documentation, it does provide several streamlined identity verification solutions. These include the Reusable Identity, which allows users to store verified documents and personal data once, and with their consent, this information can be shared across different companies within the Sumsub ecosystem, eliminating the need for repeated KYC checks and significantly speeding up onboarding.
Sumsub's automated KYC uses AI and machine learning to instantly verify documents and detect fraud without manual intervention, offering a scalable and efficient solution for high-volume businesses. The NFC Verification feature enables instant, secure extraction and verification of data from chips in passports or national IDs, offering a fast and reliable alternative to manual document uploads.
Although none of these features are explicitly described as requiring only a "single tap" from the user, the Reusable Identity solution appears to be the closest to a "single sign-on" for KYC, allowing users to skip repetitive verification processes after their initial check. If Sumsub or its partners reference "Single Tap KYC" in marketing materials, it might refer metaphorically to one of these streamlined flows, but the official documentation and third-party sources do not confirm a literal one-tap KYC feature as of July 2025.
Regardless, Sumsub's Single Tap KYC system is making the verification process quick, stress-free, and efficient for clients, enabling them to focus on what truly matters: their business.
The Single Tap KYC system, similar to Google or Facebook registration systems, uses the Sumsub Mobile SDK to provide a streamlined identity verification process for clients, allowing them to easily and efficiently verify their identities for various businesses. Additionally, Sumsub's Reusable Identity solution, while not named "Single Tap KYC," allows users to store verified documents and personal data once, reducing the need for repeated KYC checks and contributing to a quick and stress-free business experience.
