Free OFAC Sanctions Screening
Screen a person or company name against the same 12 government lists the API uses. Guest try-it, JSON in the page, no key. A match is a starting point for review, not a legal determination.
# free & rate-limited · no signup · live results from the same engine as the API
Since the engine is the same one the API runs, a key does not buy you a better answer. It buys volume, bulk jobs and a signed receipt.
Three quick steps
Enter a name
A person or a company, at least three characters.
The engine runs
The same self-hosted corpus as POST /api/sanctions — 12 lists, score, source, receipt.
Read the JSON
Hits name the list and a 0–100 score. No match is an answer, not a pass.
Twelve lists, one count
OFAC, four BIS lists, DDTC, ISN, EU, UK, UN, Australia DFAT, Switzerland SESAM. The live count is the freshness badge on this page and /coverage.
Same engine as the API
Guest and key holders hit the same route. A paid key adds volume, not a different verdict.
Score and source
Every match names the list and a similarity score. You set the threshold.
Not full KYC
PEP is Wikidata heads of state and ministers, not legislators. No adverse media. UBO is UK-only.
Who uses it
First-look screening
Paste a counterparty name before you take the next step.
Demo the API
See the JSON a key holder gets, without a key.
Compliance ops
Keep the receipt with the file when you move to the API.
Name collisions
A common name will hit. That is the point of a score, not a reason to hide the hit.
FAQ
Is this sanctions screening tool free?
Yes. Guests get 5 lookups a minute and 50 a day, no signup. A free account has 200 credits a month, no card, and core validations cost 1 credit each.
How accurate are the results?
The free tool runs the same engine as the API, so what you see here is what an integration returns. Where we cannot determine something we say so rather than guessing — a confident wrong answer is worse than an honest gap.
Can I use this in bulk or via API?
Yes. Paste 20 numbers with no account, or sign in and clean 100 a month on the free plan. Paid plans take longer lists, CSV jobs, webhooks and higher rate limits, from $3.16 per 1,000 core lookups.
Is this a legal determination?
No. A match is a starting point for manual review. Same-name collisions are real.
How many lists?
12. The number is the live table on /coverage, not a marketing count. We do not carry Canada SEMA.
Is this full KYC?
No. PEP coverage is Wikidata heads of state, government, ministers, judges, central bankers and ambassadors — not national legislators. There is no adverse-media engine. Beneficial ownership is the UK PSC register only.
