Services / Sanctions Screening
Sanctions Screening
Screen a person or company name (fuzzy and alias-aware) and/or a crypto wallet address against the US Treasury OFAC SDN list. The list is refreshed twice a day and includes the extended-remarks file, which is where most sanctioned crypto addresses are published.
Good for
- Payment agents checking a counterparty before sending funds
- Onboarding flows that pre-screen a wallet
- Compliance teams wanting a fast first-pass check
