Case Study: Beacon achieves 5-second cross-border customer verification with Sumsub

Beacon verifies customers in 5 seconds with Sumsub

Beacon, a Canadian fintech super app, needed to build a secure and frictionless digital onboarding process for its cross-border customers from day one. Their challenge was to balance rigorous compliance and sanctions screening with a fast, seamless user experience for a globally diverse clientele, avoiding the high false rejection rates common with standard verification systems. They partnered with Sumsub to implement its full KYC suite.

Sumsub provided an integrated solution featuring identity verification, liveness detection, and AML screening. A key benefit was the platform's flexibility in handling regional identity document nuances, which improved accuracy for customers. The implementation was straightforward, and the results were significant: Beacon achieved a median verification time of just five seconds. This robust and scalable compliance foundation from Sumsub has become a key enabler for the company's rapid growth.
