We identified and resolved an issue that caused TM creation requests to return 400 errors when the transaction included an invalid full name. This affected only a limited number of transactions where the full name value was incorrect. Transactions with valid full name data were not impacted. As the affected requests failed validation before transaction creation, no affected transactions were created in our system. Affected transactions need to be recreated by the client. This incident is being reported retrospectively for transparency. UTC time: 8:08 - 9:05

We are currently experiencing infrastructure issues in the UAE region due to a confirmed power outage at our upstream provider's (AWS) datacenters. Users may experience temporary delays or intermittent availability of verification services, as well as impacted performance and data synchronization. We are closely monitoring the situation and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status Other regions are not affected.

The state of UAE AWS infrastructure remains unchanged according to Amazon updates. Our Team stays alert and follows the situation closely.

We are continuing to monitor for any changes with UAE AWS infrastructure availability.

To mitigate the impact of the ongoing AWS power outage affecting the UAE region, we have temporarily launched part of our UAE production infrastructure in the EU region. This allows UAE users to continue operating and submitting verifications while the issue persists. Please note that some data may still be missing or incomplete, as we were not able to retrieve the full dataset from AWS before the outage occurred. As a result, certain records or synchronization states may be partially unavailable at this time. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will restore full operations in the UAE region once the upstream provider resolves the incident. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

As there is currently no estimated time of resolution from AWS regarding the UAE region outage, we are closing this incident. All affected customers have been successfully migrated to alternative regions shortly after the incident began, and services are fully operational. Our services remain available and can be used as usual — no action is required on your side. Once the upstream infrastructure in the UAE region is restored and stable, we will automatically migrate operations back without disruption. We will continue to monitor the situation internally and appreciate your understanding. Should you have any particular concerns in regards to this incident, please, feel free to reach our Support Team.

Description: Between 15:00 and 18:08 UTC on February 26, 2026, one database node in our EU production cluster experienced network throttling, resulting in increased query latency. This manifested as general interface sluggishness and intermittent API response delays. Root Cause: A spike in traffic triggered AWS network throttling on the affected database instance, leading to degraded performance. Resolution: Traffic was redirected to another instance, restoring normal operation. Next Steps: We are strengthening network monitoring, reviewing instance sizing, and working with the platform team to implement additional traffic control measures to prevent recurrence.

Between 20.02 (12:00 UTC) and 23.02 (18:00 UTC), during a scheduled aggregation tables migration, a configuration inconsistency caused partial data to not be fully reflected in the production aggregation layer. This affected certain rules relying on aggregate expressions for a limited period. Core monitoring and transaction processing were not impacted, and no data loss occurred. The issue has been resolved and aggregation data fully reconciled. Additional validation and automation controls have been implemented to prevent recurrence. As a precaution, we will automatically rescore all transactions evaluated by aggregate-based rules during the affected period. If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact our Support team.

Mobile SDK users experienced an issue during the Liveness verification step, where the interface could appear unresponsive and remain in a prolonged loading state. The issue has been fully resolved, and the service is currently operating normally. Affected period: 15:22 - 15:45 UTC

Our external service provider for AML verifications experienced technical issues, which caused some verifications to take longer than usual. Affected period: 10:04 - 10:11 UTC The issue has now been resolved, and services are operating normally.

Some of clients reported unusually long loading times when accessing the liveness verification screen. In some cases, the screen took several minutes to appear, impacting the overall user experience during the verification process when using WebSDK. Our Team is currently investigating the matter. The service remains fully operational.

After review, no widespread or systemic issue was identified. A small number of isolated user reports indicated slower-than-usual loading times when accessing the liveness verification screen. The service remained fully available throughout the reported period. Overall system performance was stable, and the behavior appears to have been limited to individual cases rather than a broader service impact. Those reports will be investigated and fixed individually. Please contact Sumsub Support in case you have any questions!
