Sanctions Screening

Screening customers, vendors, and beneficial owners against OFAC, EU, UK, and UN lists.

US sanctions are enforced by OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control). Screening at onboarding is table stakes; continuous screening catches list changes after the relationship starts. Missed matches can trigger civil penalties in the millions.
