Free tool
Sanctions screening, free and instant.
Screen any company or person against OFAC SDN + Consolidated, UN, EU, UK, Canada, Australia and Switzerland, from the publishers' own 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, Canada SEMA, Australia DFAT and Switzerland SECO, each built from the publisher's own file and served from OilFlow's own index.
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 (eight-list sanctions, company registration, regulatory licence check, asset confirmation, trade references, digital footprint, broker-scam pattern analysis) on one entity? 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 Consolidated, UK Sanctions List (FCDO), Canada SEMA, Australia DFAT and Switzerland SECO. Eight lists, each from its publisher's own file. No other lists, and no PEP screening.
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 (eight-list sanctions, company registration, regulatory licence check, asset confirmation, trade references, digital footprint, broker-scam pattern analysis; PEP not screened) lives behind the paid KYC API.
Do you store what I search?›
The screen runs against OilFlow's own index of the eight publishers' lists 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.
