Free counterparty check
Pre-screen any counterparty in under 10 seconds.
Paste a company name, individual, or vessel. We check it against OilFlow's first-party-investigated fraud cluster blocklist and return a risk band, the patterns to watch for, and a verify checklist. Instant, no signup. Not a regulatory KYC — see the disclosure below.
How it works
Four steps. No signup beyond your email.
01
Paste the counterparty
Company name, individual, or vessel IMO. We accept what your intake form already captures — no special formatting.
02
Add your email (optional)
Skip it and you still get the full result instantly. Add it and we email you the result and alert you if the counterparty is later added to a cluster.
03
Get the result
Cluster match (yes/no with severity), sanctions corpus context for the jurisdiction, and a risk band you can route on.
04
Decide your next move
Clean? Onboard with documented evidence. Hit? Escalate to a full 7-step KYC via the Counterparty KYC API — same evidence, regulator-ready dossier.
FAQ
What compliance officers ask before they paste a name
Do I have to give my email?›
No. Leave it blank and you get the full result instantly (rate-limited by IP to keep it sane). Add your email and we send you the result and alert you if that counterparty is later added to a cluster. Your email goes into our compliance-team inbox, not a third-party CRM. No marketing automation, no third-party tracking.
What data does the check run against?›
OilFlow's verified-fraudulent cluster blocklist — counterparties we have first-party investigated and confirmed (Simar Chahal Chevron-CEO impersonation, Ahmad Pinnacle layer-cake, Russia-Türkiye dark-fleet, and continuously-added new clusters). Severity tiers: confirmed / likely / suspected.
Why don't you show sanctions list details?›
The free tier is honest about its scope. A full 7-list sanctions screen (OFAC SDN, OFAC Consolidated, UN, EU, UK HMT, Canadian SEMA, Australian DFAT, Swiss SECO) plus PEP runs against OpenSanctions and ships a structured dossier — that is the paid Counterparty KYC API.
I am a compliance officer at a bank. Can I run more than one check per day?›
Yes — start a Counterparty KYC API trial or buy a Compliance Suite seat. Pay-as-you-go starts at $25/screen with sub-30-second async dossier. We will not lift the free quota for individuals; we run it on every email and ask paying customers to upgrade.
Does a clean result mean the counterparty is safe to onboard?›
No. A clean result means the counterparty did not match a verified-fraudulent cluster in our investigated corpus. Documentary KYC, jurisdictional license verification, and ongoing monitoring all still apply. The free tool is a pre-screen, not a clearance.
What if I hit a confirmed cluster?›
Stop the onboarding. Document the hit. Email the result to your line manager and your bank's MLRO. If you can, contribute the counterparty's broker chain back to the cluster intelligence corpus via the Compliance Index contributor channel.
