Case Study: Zeam achieves 75% lower operational costs with Sumsub

Zeam Scales Across Africa with 75% Operational Cost Reduction Using Sumsub

Zeam, a digital money platform launched by Paytec Group for African markets, needed a fast, secure, and low-cost onboarding process that could support real-time “Swap & Send” transactions without manual verification bottlenecks. To meet these needs, Zeam integrated Sumsub from day one to power identity verification, liveness checks, AML screening, and customizable compliance workflows across its growing African footprint.

With Sumsub, Zeam implemented a staged, zero-downtime rollout in just two sprints and quickly launched a smooth API-driven verification flow. The result was a 95%+ first-attempt pass rate, median verification time of 6.7 seconds, under-6-second verification for 90% of users, and a 75% reduction in operational costs, while also improving fraud prevention and keeping false positives low.
