OFAC sanctions check API

An OFAC sanctions check confirms whether a person or entity appears on the U.S. Treasury's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list or the Consolidated (non-SDN) sanctions list. U.S. persons are prohibited from transacting with sanctioned parties.

FCRA-safe scope. This is vendor / business-entity KYB + sanctions compliance screening across public US federal lists. It is not a consumer report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and must not be used to make decisions about an individual's credit, employment, insurance, or tenancy. Sanctions and exclusion screening for compliance falls outside FCRA — we keep it there.

How it works

POST or GET an entity name (plus optional country/IDs) and the API returns whether it matches the SDN or Consolidated list, the matched record with program and remarks, and a confidence score so you can triage exact vs. fuzzy hits.
