Free tool
Sanctions & PEP screening, free and instant.
Screen any company or person against OFAC SDN + Consolidated, UN, EU, UK HMT, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, PEP and ~200 other lists. No signup. A screening aid — not legal advice. See the scope below.
How it works
Four steps. No signup.
01
Enter a name
A company, individual, beneficial owner, or vessel operator. No formatting needed — we normalise before matching.
02
We match the lists
Your name is scored against OFAC SDN + Consolidated, UN, EU, UK HMT, Canada SEMA, Australia DFAT, Switzerland SECO, PEP and ~200 more, via OpenSanctions.
03
Read the hits
Each possible match shows a confidence score and which lists it appears on. No match returns a neutral result — name-only screening is not a clearance.
04
Go deeper when it matters
Need the full 7-step screen (registration, licence, UBO, adverse media, fraud-cluster, scam-pattern) on one entity? Order the $25 dossier or use the KYC API at volume.
FAQ
Before you screen a name
Is this really free?›
Yes. Screening a name is free and needs no signup. It is IP rate-limited (30 screens per 15 minutes) to keep it sane. For volume or programmatic access, the Counterparty KYC API starts at $25 per screen.
Which lists does it cover?›
OFAC SDN, OFAC Consolidated, UN Security Council, EU Financial Sanctions, UK HMT, Canada SEMA, Australia DFAT, Switzerland SECO, politically-exposed-persons (PEP) data, and roughly 200 additional sanctions and watchlists, consolidated by OpenSanctions.
Does a 'no match' mean the entity is clean?›
No. A no-match means no listed entity matched this name above our confidence threshold. Name-only screening misses aliases, transliterations, shell structures, and entities that are not (yet) listed. Confirm identity documents and run a full KYC before relying on it.
Is this legal advice or a regulatory KYC?›
No. This is a screening aid only — not legal advice and not a regulatory KYC. The full 7-step pipeline (sanctions + PEP, company registration, jurisdictional licence check, UBO traversal, adverse media, trade references, scam-pattern detection) ships a regulator-ready dossier and lives behind the paid KYC API.
Do you store what I search?›
The screen runs against OpenSanctions and returns a result without minting an account. We do not require your email to use it. See our trust page for data handling.
Can I embed or automate this?›
Yes — the same screening is available via the Counterparty KYC API with structured JSON, webhooks on new list additions, and continuous re-screening. Start with a free sandbox key.
Beyond the screen
The full 7-step KYC — 8-list sanctions + PEP, company registration, jurisdictional licence check across 235 jurisdictions, UBO traversal, adverse media, trade references, and scam-pattern detection — ships a regulator-ready dossier via the Counterparty KYC API. One entity, one click: the $25 dossier.
