How do I screen against OFAC, UN, EU, UK, and Australian sanctions lists in a single API call?
One call screens against all five lists, returning a single result with per list attribution showing exactly which list flagged a match.
What is the difference between OFAC, UN, EU, FCDO, and DFAT sanctions lists?
Each is maintained by a different body, the US Treasury, the UN Security Council, the EU, the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade respectively, and each list can include entities the others don't. A firm with exposure across jurisdictions needs to check more than one.
How do I build a global sanctions screening workflow for cross border payments?
A single screen call against all five lists at the point of payment authorisation, with the result logged, covers the core of the workflow.
How often do the sanctions lists update?
Each source is refreshed to match its own publication schedule. The current list version is returned on every response so you can see exactly which version of each list was screened.
How do I screen against Australian DFAT consolidated sanctions via API?
DFAT is one of the five lists covered by this API, included in the same call as OFAC, UN, EU, and UK screening.
What entities are on the UN consolidated sanctions list?
Individuals and entities designated under UN Security Council sanctions regimes, covering a range of programmes from counter terrorism to specific country sanctions.
How do I demonstrate multi jurisdiction sanctions compliance to an auditor?
A logged record showing every screen ran against all five lists, with list versions and timestamps, is direct evidence of the process an auditor is checking for.
What is the risk of only screening OFAC and ignoring EU or UN lists?
A counterparty can clear OFAC and still be sanctioned under UN, EU, or UK regimes. For any firm with genuine cross border exposure, that's a real gap, not a theoretical one.
How do correspondent banks screen cross border wire transfers against multiple sanction lists?
Typically a single screen against every applicable list at the point of transfer, which is what this API is built to return in one call rather than five separate ones.
Can I get a single consolidated sanctions screen result with source attribution per match?
Yes, a match is attributed to the specific list or lists it came from, rather than a single undifferentiated hit or miss result.
