Sanctions Screener — OFAC, UN, EU, UK & Canada Lists

Screen people and companies against the official sanctions lists, read straight from each publisher: the US OFAC SDN and consolidated (non-SDN) lists, the UN Security Council consolidated list, the EU consolidated financial sanctions list, the UK Sanctions List, Canada's consolidated autonomous sanctions list and the Swiss SECO list. About 46,000 listed people, organisations, vessels and aircraft, refreshed on every run.

Built for KYC and KYB onboarding, fintechs and payment companies, trade and logistics compliance, vendor and partner due diligence, procurement, and AI agents that need a sanctions check.

What you get

For every name, a verdict (match, possible-match or no-match) and the best matching entries:

Field	Example
status, topScore	match, 100
matches[].matchedName	PUTIN, Vladimir (the name or alias that matched)
matches[].list, listName	us-ofac-sdn, US OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List
matches[].programs	RUSSIA-EO14024
matches[].countries, birthDates, identifiers	Russia, 1952-10-07, Passport …
matches[].checks	birthYear: consistent, country: different
matches[].url	the entry on the publisher's site

Matching that copes with real names

• Transliteration. Владимир Путин, PUTIN, Vladimir and Vladimir Putin are the same name; so are Mohammed and Muhammad, Gaddafi and Qaddafi.
• Any word order, patronymics and initials. V. Putin and Vladimir Vladimirovich PUTIN are found too.
• Company forms ignored. Ltd, LLC, PJSC, OOO, GmbH… don't count. Generic words such as Bank, Trading or Group count for less, so Bank alone doesn't match every listed bank.
• Fewer false positives. Add a date of birth or a country: a different birth year or country lowers a match and is flagged under checks. A strong name match is never hidden, only lowered.

Three modes

1. Screen names. Paste names (one per line), or send subjects with your own reference, date of birth, country and type.
2. Follow changes. Schedule mode changes (daily, for example). Each run reports the new designations and the removals since the last run, optionally only for some programmes or countries. The first run saves a baseline.
3. Export. All entries, or only those matching programmes (RUSSIA, IRAN, SDGT…), countries, entity type, or a listing date, in one schema.

Good to know

• The lists are the publishers' own files, used as published. This Actor is a screening aid, not legal advice or a clearance: review possible matches yourself, and follow your own compliance policy.
• If a publisher's file can't be downloaded, the run says so in its summary and in listsChecked.
