Sum&Substance Introduced to Polymath ‘Service Provider Marketplace’

Enter Sum&Substance

Polymath has just announced the inclusion of Sumsub into their ‘service provider marketplace’.

Sumsub is able to offer compliance based solutions for issuers of digital securities. Their inclusion into the marketplace means that token issuers which utilize the Polymath platform will gain access to the services of Sumsub.

Those who choose to utilize Sumsub services, will benefit from their solutions built around KYC and AML measures. This important step in the issuance process ensures that only qualified investors gain access to the right offerings.

Alternative Marketplaces

The creation of marketplaces within digital securities is a growing trend. These marketplaces are groupings of like-minded companies, which offer complimentary services. This means that when an issuer utilizes the Polymath Service Provider Marketplace, they gain access to each of the services they will need along their path, through the other parties which take part in the program.

Another such ‘service provider marketplace’, is the growing Kore Partner Ecosystem. This grouping of companies functions in much the same way. Each of the participants offers a specialized service, with the group as a whole providing a comprehensive solution.

It is all about who you know.
