# KYC provider tokens

> Reuse existing verification by passing Sumsub KYC tokens to Tazapay

If you already verify your customers through a KYC provider, you don't have to collect the same information twice. Tazapay is integrated with [Sumsub](https://www.sumsub.com/) and can consume [KYC tokens](https://sumsub.com/reusable-kyc/), so the verification you've already completed can be reused when onboarding an entity.

<Info>
  This is ideal for platforms running their own onboarding funnel, and it pairs naturally with the [reliance model](/collection-accounts/on-behalf-of/onboarding-and-required-information#the-reliance-model) for instant collections.

## How it works

You verify the customer as part of your own onboarding, then pass the resulting **token** to Tazapay when creating the entity. Tazapay consumes the token to retrieve and validate the verification, with no need to re-upload documents.

## Why use provider tokens

| No duplicate KYC                                                                    | Faster onboarding                                                               | One source of truth                                             |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Reuse verification you've already done, so your customers don't repeat the process. | Skip re-collecting documents and move straight to creating collection accounts. | Keep verification consistent between your platform and Tazapay. |
