New integration supports Orbital’s continued innovation in delivering multi-layered transaction controls to support its global cross-border payment infrastructure
Orbital, a global payment orchestration platform across stablecoins and traditional payment rails, has announced it is collaborating with Sumsub, a global leader in verification and anti-fraud, to implement advanced transaction monitoring across and screening across its entire payments stack. The relationship enhances Orbital’s ability to monitor and manage both fiat and stablecoin transactions, bolstering compliance capabilities while delivering a more seamless and secure user experience.
This milestone marks a critical step in Orbital’s ongoing investment in robust financial crime prevention and regulatory alignment, including readiness for standards like the Travel Rule. Sumsub’s solution gives Orbital real-time risk detection, enhanced screening, flexible rule-setting, and ongoing monitoring – enabling faster responses to flagged activity, clearer oversight for regulators and clients, and stronger transaction controls.
Additionally, the integration, rolled out across Orbital’s B2B and B2B2C offerings, enhances compliance and customer experience by enabling faster investigation of flagged transactions, retrospective analytics, and audit-ready controls tailored for regulators and enterprise clients.
“Compliance, along with security and governance, are three fundamental pillars by which Orbital operates,” said Luke Wingfield Digby, Co-Founder and Head of Corporate Development of Orbital. “Our commitment to creating a scalable and secure ecosystem that clients can trust means staying one step ahead with innovative features that deliver ongoing assurance. As regulatory frameworks like the Travel Rule gain global traction, effective transaction monitoring becomes more critical than ever. We evaluated the market for potential providers to strengthen our financial crime and anti-money laundering compliance programs. Orbital chose to work with Sumsub because it was the most capable vendor assessed at supporting our platform to prevent illegal and criminal activity over its products and services.”
“Orbital is clearly focused on creating a secure and compliant payment experience, which made this a natural fit. By working together, we ensure Orbital gains access to real-time transaction insights, flexible rule-setting, and automated checks that strengthen their ability to detect suspicious activity across both fiat and stablecoin payments,” said Julia Bond, Business Development Director, EU/UK at Sumsub. “We’re excited to support Orbital in delivering best-in-class monitoring across both fiat and stablecoin transactions, helping them stay ahead of regulatory changes and customer expectations.”
The adoption, initiated in early 2025, strengthens Orbital’s existing compliance framework by bringing in specialist third-party expertise. It plays a key role in supporting ongoing efforts around identity verification, customer-level risk scoring and ongoing development of tools to support Orbital’s partners.
