Sumsub
Sumsub is an identity verification and compliance platform that added AI Agent Verification, a Know Your Agent (KYA) offering that binds AI agent activity to a verified human identity.
Identity and trustLive
Businesses get a Know Your Agent (KYA) product that detects automated and agent-driven activity, risk-scores it, and binds verified AI agent actions to a verified human identity for accountability and revocation.
- Credential type
- Human-bound verification (liveness verification plus device intelligence, not a standalone agent credential)
- Who accepts it
- Sumsub customers in fintech, payments, e-commerce, and ticketing
- Delegation model
- Human-delegated authentication: an agent's authority derives explicitly from a verified human, creating an accountability chain from agent to verified user to facial identity
- Revocation
- Revocation is tied to the bound human identity: if the verified person is banned or blocklisted, the linked automation is banned as well
- Reputation model
- Continuous behavioral and contextual risk scoring across the customer lifecycle, used to allow, limit, or challenge automated activity
- Integration
- API

Our take
Sumsub is primarily a KYC/KYB compliance platform, not an agent-native company, but its January 2026 AI Agent Verification launch is a direct KYA offering: it verifies AI agents by binding their activity to a verified human identity rather than issuing agents their own standalone identity.
