Sumsub

You know, you, you want that to be the case because there are a lot of people that are trying to game the verification system.

Um, but we need to also make it as easy as possible, which is why we've sort of, um, settled on Sumsub, um, who's our identity verification provider.

I'm gonna say again, disclaimer, I don't personally believe that there is any one silver bullet in this space.

I think they, they all are very similar ultimately, um, and they, they all need to provide a service which...

And be liable to us to making sure that they are rooting out any fraudulent impersonators and bad actors in that process so that we're only onboarding true and legitimate people and keeping the compliance of our program safe.

That's extremely important, and we rely on them to do so, and those are the sort of known methods that, that everyone uses.

Um, but sort of out- out- outside of that, our, our choice to use Sumsub was also for convenience.

Sumsub have probably one of the, the s- the smoothest, um, uh, onboarding processes.

Hello, and welcome to What The Fraud, a podcast by Sumsub, where digital fraudsters meet their match.

I'm Vicky Baker, your brand new host of What The Fraud.

I'm an investigative journalist specializing in reporting on fraudsters and con artists.

Lawmakers pointed to inconsistent verification rules and staff relying on visual checks rather than scanning QR codes, as well as persistent flaws where mobile licenses on iPhones stay active even after the SIM quar- card is swapped out.

And finally, Sumsub has launched its reusable KYC gateway, teaming up with Opera's Minipay stablecoin wallet as its debut partner.

The system allows users to verify their identity once with a document and selfie, and then reuse those verified credentials across Minipay's network of payment providers and financial partners with a single click.

The policy uses an integration with the National Civil Registry to prevent duplicate enrollments and improve electronic medical claims.

And finally, Singapore-based payment firm FOMO Pay is integrating Sumsub's onboarding and monitoring tools across its regional operations.

The setup brings automated identity checks, business verification, and AML monitoring to transactions across Southeast Asia, China's Greater Bay Area, and the Middle East.

I'm Maria, and in each episode we explore one big idea through a personal journey.

Today's guest is Kat Cloud, Head of Government Relations at Sumsub.

Kat's career has taken her from writing policy inside the UK's financial regulator to shaping how companies like Plaid and Yardley worked with the regulators, to now leading global policy strategy at Sumsub and sitting on the board of Financial Data and Technology Association.

She's also been recognized in the Women in FinTech Power List for her contribution to the industry.

Today, we'll talk about that path, what she's seeing right now around AI, fraud, and trust, and what it takes for a woman to lead in these industries.

The titles are very long, but it's a kind of a transitioning period.

But yeah, I appreciate being here once again with Samsung.

Awesome.

Thank you for being here.
