KYC Reliance using Sumsub
Reuse existing Sumsub KYC data to eliminate redundant user verification
KYC Reliance allows you to reuse existing KYC (Know Your Customer) verification data from Sumsub to eliminate redundant identity verification for your users. If your users have already completed KYC through your Sumsub integration, OZZOBiT can accept that verification instead of requiring them to go through KYC again.
Overview
Traditional crypto onboarding requires users to complete KYC verification with each service provider. This creates friction and poor user experience. With OZZOBiT's KYC Reliance feature powered by Sumsub, you can share verified KYC data so users only need to verify their identity once.
The Problem
| Challenge | Impact |
|---|---|
| Repeated KYC | Users must submit ID documents multiple times across different services |
| Longer time-to-transaction | Each KYC review adds minutes to hours before a user can transact |
| Higher drop-off | Users abandon flows when asked to upload documents yet again |
| Poor UX perception | Redundant verification makes your product feel unprofessional |
The Solution
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Reuse existing KYC | Accept Sumsub-verified identities without re-verification |
| Instant approval | Already-verified users get instant access to OZZOBiT |
| Reduced friction | One-time KYC shared across your platform and OZZOBiT |
| Better conversion | Fewer steps mean more completed transactions |

How It Works
User Completes KYC on Your Platform
User uploads documents and completes identity verification via your Sumsub integration.
Sumsub Verifies & Approves
Sumsub reviews the submitted documents and approves the KYC verification.
You Pass External ID to OZZOBiT
Your application sends the Sumsub applicant ID (externalUserId) to OZZOBiT when initiating a transaction.
OZZOBiT Validates KYC Status
OZZOBiT queries Sumsub to confirm the KYC status and level for this user.
User Proceeds Without Re-KYC
If KYC is valid, the user proceeds directly to payment without additional verification.
