Sumsub, the global verification and fraud prevention platform, has launched a new public registry designed to recognise businesses that prioritise digital safety and compliance.
The initiative awards “Risk Intolerant” badges to companies in the fintech, crypto, gaming, edtech, and mobility sectors. The project aims to shift the industry narrative away from public scandals and failures, instead highlighting the “silent heroes” who proactively manage risk and fraud.
Tiers of trust
The registry categorises companies into different tiers based on their assessment results. The highest accolade, the “Titan” badge, has been awarded to firms including Coinlist, Mercuryo, and Wirex.
Other notable recipients include Exness, Kaizen, and Moove, which were awarded the “Sentinel” badge, while dozens of other companies have received “Vanguard” status following Sumsub’s assessment of their KYC, AML, and fraud prevention systems.
Combating sophisticated fraud
The launch comes against a backdrop of increasingly complex threats. According to the Sumsub 2025 Fraud Exposure Survey, 40 per cent of global businesses reported falling victim to fraud. More alarmingly, the share of sophisticated fraud increased by 180 per cent between 2024 and 2025, now accounting for 28 per cent of all detected attacks.
The rise is largely attributed to scammers increasingly deploying artificial intelligence (AI) in their operations, making even infrequent attacks potentially devastating in terms of financial loss and reputational damage.
Vitaliy Gribanov, senior brand and creative director at Sumsub, explained the motivation behind the registry: “Business is no longer about only growth numbers: its long-term success relies much on reputation, transparency and trust. With our Risk Intolerant project, we’re celebrating the resilience our clients build with us in the fight against fraud. We want to shift the narrative around risk and compliance from reactive to aspirational, and the way we see it is to spotlight the companies doing the hard, often invisible work of managing risks proactively before they turn into crisis.”
The initiative is intended to guide end-users and businesses through the complexities of compliance technology by providing visible proof of a company’s commitment to safety.
While the badges act as a mark of recognition for current best practices, Sumsub notes they reflect a company’s commitment at the time of evaluation rather than a guarantee of future risk-free operations. Companies wishing to be assessed for the registry can now apply directly through Sumsub.
