Sanctions & PEP Screening
Screen any individual or entity against 320+ international sanctions, PEP, and watchlist databases in seconds. Covers OFAC SDN, EU Consolidated Sanctions, UN Security Council, UK HM Treasury, Interpol Red Notices, FBI Most Wanted, and more.
Why Sanctions Screening Matters
Sanctions screening is a legal obligation for businesses operating in regulated industries. Governments and international bodies maintain watchlists of individuals, companies, and entities involved in terrorism, money laundering, weapons proliferation, human rights abuses, and organised crime. Transacting with a sanctioned party — even unknowingly — can result in severe criminal and civil penalties.
In the United States, OFAC violations can result in civil penalties exceeding USD 300,000 per violation and criminal penalties of up to USD 1 million and 20 years' imprisonment. The EU and UK impose comparable penalties under their own sanctions frameworks.
For UAE-based businesses, the UAE Central Bank AML/CFT framework requires all regulated entities to implement sanctions screening as part of their customer due diligence processes. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) evaluates whether countries have effective sanctions screening frameworks, and non-compliance can result in grey-listing — increasing scrutiny on all businesses operating from that jurisdiction.
