Sanctions screening that shows
its evidence
Screen any person or company against official sanctions lists in one call. Fuzzy matching handles typos, transliteration and word order — and every hit returns reproducible, audit-ready proof, not an opaque yes/no.
Free sanctions checker
Type a name to screen it against the OFAC, EU, UK & UN sanctions lists. No signup.
Why developers pick it
Most screening APIs return a score and nothing else. When an auditor asks “why did this match?”, you have no answer. This one is built the other way round.
Reproducible evidence
Every hit returns the exact list name matched, normalized forms, token coverage and per-algorithm scores — an audit trail you can defend.
Robust fuzzy matching
Insensitive to word order, accents and typos, with coverage weighting that kills the short-substring false positives naïve APIs produce.
Four official lists
US OFAC SDN, the EU consolidated list, UK OFSI and the UN Security Council list — ingested directly from each authority and refreshed automatically every day.
Fast & simple
Single-name and batch endpoints, ~40 ms per screen, plain JSON. One header to authenticate. No SDK, no headless stack to babysit.
One call, full evidence
The API returns the reasoning behind every decision. Here’s a real response shape.
