## Editorial

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.

## Offerings

### Identity

- Offering status: live
- What you get: 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.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| credential_type | Human-bound verification (liveness verification plus device intelligence, not a standalone agent credential) |
| who_accepts | 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 |
