Sumsub and ComplyAdvantage announce strategic partnership to enhance AML screening for compliance teams. ComplyAdvantage's AI-native Mesh platform powers risk intelligence within Sumsub's AML screening, enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility for compliance teams. London, 26th March 2026 - Sumsub, the global full-cycle verification platform, and ComplyAdvantage, the leader in AI-driven financial crime compliance solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to enhance anti-money laundering (AML) screening capabilities for compliance teams globally. The solution brings together Sumsub's full-cycle verification platform - a single environment for KYC, KYB, and transaction monitoring with AI-powered review tools - and ComplyAdvantage's Mesh, the AI-native intelligence layer that combines entity resolution, financial crime risk data, and enterprise-scale threat detection to deliver a complete view of risk. As compliance requirements grow stricter across jurisdictions and financial institutions face increasing scrutiny, organisations must manage sanctions screening, politically exposed person (PEP) checks, and watchlist monitoring in real time, with increasing precision. ComplyAdvantage's Mesh will now serve as the foundational intelligence layer powering Sumsub's AML screening platform, available across its Know-Your-Customer (KYC), Know-Your-Business (KYB) and Transaction Monitoring products. This integration powers Sumsub's AI-driven capabilities, which simplify hit review, ensure auditability and traceability, and help compliance teams stay aligned with regulatory requirements within one platform. Additionally, Sumsub - trusted by over 4,000 companies worldwide - is launching Mesh Bring Your Own Key (BYOK), enabling customers to connect their own ComplyAdvantage Mesh API credentials directly into the Sumsub platform. This ensures flexibility, control, and seamless workflow orchestration across the compliance lifecycle. What this means for Sumsub customers. The partnership introduces enhanced AML screening capabilities - powered by ComplyAdvantage's Mesh intelligence - embedded directly within the platform. The API first technical approach brings a marked improvement on performance, screening flexibility and supports broader customization to align with varying risk appetites and regulatory expectations. The integration also improves screening accuracy and signal quality, provides richer profile information, and enables a seamless experience within Sumsub's case management and monitoring workflows. This follows the recent launch of Summy AI Copilot, which delivers actionable insights to accelerate AML reviews and streamline compliance workflows. 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 its platform, ComplyAdvantage Ltd is not just enhancing AML screening - ComplyAdvantage Ltd is redefining how compliance operates. Sumsub brings together verification, screening, monitoring, and intelligent decisioning into a single environment, giving teams complete control, real-time intelligence, and the ability to scale with confidence in an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. What this means for ComplyAdvantage customers. For existing ComplyAdvantage Mesh customers, this partnership unlocks a powerful new delivery channel: Sumsub's compliance platform, now running on Mesh's canonical source of intelligence. This means customers can access Sumsub's review tools and case management while continuing to base their screening activity in Mesh - the same high-fidelity intelligence source trusted by over 3,000 enterprises across 75 countries. "ComplyAdvantage was built from the ground up to solve the hardest problems in financial crime intelligence - proprietary data sourcing, AI-native risk classification, and complete ownership of every stage from collection to delivery," said Mark Watson, Chief Technology and Product Officer at ComplyAdvantage. "This partnership with Sumsub brings that foundation to a broader set of compliance teams who demand both speed and precision, alongside a full-cycle verification platform. Because we ingest directly from source, sanctions changes hit our pipeline in under a minute and are available for screening within hours - while much of the industry still waits one to two days. With Mesh, that intelligence is built in, not bolted on. It's the layer that underpins modern compliance stacks."

Globus Payments uses flexible transaction monitoring to power growth into new markets. Globus Payments is a B2B payment provider, offering its clients the ability to make both domestic and cross-border payments and receivables. Providing services across the UK and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), its offering is characterized by speed and simplicity, with 24/7 connectivity, FX solutions, and real-time reporting. Like all firms in the payments space, Globus faces multiple risks, including significant regulatory obligations around anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) processes, consumer duty requirements, and operational risks that mean the business must maintain the technology and human resources to carry out appropriate due diligence on its clients. ComplyAdvantage Ltd actively monitor the risks posed by its business activities and implement measures such as robust transaction monitoring, IT controls, and a strong compliance framework to mitigate these. Kym Routledge, Group Chief Compliance Officer & UK MLRO, Globus Payments For Globus' compliance team, success is defined by the ability to support the firm's growth ambitions while remaining fully compliant with all relevant regulations. To achieve these aims, Globus chose to partner with ComplyAdvantage for transaction monitoring and payment screening, allowing it to effectively screen incoming and outgoing transactions for financial crime risks, and identify any suspicious or unusual patterns of customer behavior. How compliance became a competitive advantage for Globus. Central to Globus' approach is that the company treats compliance as a business enabler, rather than as a superficial obligation, which allows it to grow its customer base in a safe and sustainable way. Following a risk-based approach to transaction monitoring has allowed Globus to improve its customer experience while ensuring the business remains protected against financial crime, with reduced customer friction and ineffective AML reviews. This mindset played an important role in the firm's decision to use ComplyAdvantage's product range, which is designed to streamline compliance processes and support business growth with flexible solutions. ComplyAdvantage Ltd take its reputation very seriously. Its responsibility to safeguard its clients, ourselves, and its partners is paramount. That is why ComplyAdvantage Ltd will only partner with tech providers that share the same principles and standards as ComplyAdvantage Ltd. Ian Moore, Group CEO, Globus Payments This became especially important when the company expanded its operations into the UAE and took on new regulatory obligations. During Globus' expansion, key objectives included fast implementation to ensure the business was ready to go live in all markets, without compromising on the effectiveness of the company's financial crime controls or the quality of alerts. This meant implementing screening and monitoring systems that were fully compliant with Globus' dual regulatory frameworks, tailored to its risk appetite and policies, and that retained the safety and quality of customer and risk data. A proactive approach to compliance from both Globus and ComplyAdvantage, involving constantly evaluating risk frameworks and implementing customized processes in different markets, was crucial throughout this process. Collaboration lays the foundations for success. ComplyAdvantage's reputation as a RegTech provider trusted by thousands of global financial institutions was a significant factor in Globus selecting its solutions, and key stakeholders in the business have cited the deep regulatory and technical knowledge of the ComplyAdvantage team as a contributor to the success of the partnership. Ongoing support from ComplyAdvantage has also proven to be a difference-maker, with the quality of customer service and fast, responsive answers to challenges from its Customer Success team also mentioned. This has included both troubleshooting and proactive planning for the future to ensure ComplyAdvantage can support Globus' continued growth and build flexible solutions to mitigate changing risks. Kym Routledge, Globus' Chief Compliance Officer & UK MLRO, describes the relationship between the teams as "a trusted partnership of collaborative support delivered with professional friendliness." Implementing new tech solutions while a business is growing rapidly can often be challenging, but Globus and ComplyAdvantage successfully avoided delays and setbacks through effective collaboration and a robust piloting and testing process. Working with a forward-thinking partner like Globus Payments is incredibly rewarding because they view compliance as a competitive advantage. By leveraging its customizable transaction monitoring and screening tools, Globus has successfully minimized the friction of false positives, allowing their experts to focus on genuine risk. It's a perfect example of how the right technology can streamline operations while supporting ambitious transaction volumes. Luke Rogers, VP of EMEA, ComplyAdvantage ComplyAdvantage's solutions boost productivity and efficiency. For Globus' compliance team, the difference ComplyAdvantage has made is allowing them to build a transaction monitoring and payment screening framework precisely calibrated to the firm's business profile and the risks it faces. Instead of using an off-the-shelf solution that would create alert backlogs, high false positive rates, and ineffective risk detection with inflexible rules, Globus has been able to create custom rules based on its products, customer base, and the constantly shifting financial crime landscape. As its risks change, Globus can adapt its rules in real time to maintain highly accurate and efficient outcomes, remove roadblocks to growth, and maximize the productivity of its compliance team by freeing them up to work on high-value decision-making instead of remediating unnecessary alerts. ComplyAdvantage Ltd has seen a huge reduction in false positives, which is not only better for its client's journey, but also allows the team to focus on investigations and genuine threats. Kym Routledge, Group Chief Compliance Officer & UK MLRO, Globus Payments With the help of ComplyAdvantage's solutions, Globus has been able to meet ambitious growth targets, seeing significantly increased transaction volumes ahead of forecast. With the ComplyAdvantage product roadmap set to further enable Globus' growth, both teams look forward to continuing the partnership in the long term.
