React Native SDK now available — The Banxa React Native SDK (@banxa-official/react-native-sdk) is now available. Install a single package to get typed methods for quotes, order creation, and in-app checkout presentation — no backend required for core flows. → SDK Integration
Sumsub Copy Applicant support — A second Sumsub integration approach is now available alongside Reusable KYC. Copy Applicant retrieves name, DOB, selfie, document, address, and TIN directly from your Sumsub account, reducing the amount of data that needs to be collected separately. Copy Applicant is a separate Sumsub product and must be configured by Banxa — contact Banxa to have it enabled on your account. → Sumsub Integration
