Global Sanctions Screening Platform for Financial Institutions and Government Agencies
ScanSanctions is a global, multilingual sanctions screening platform designed for financial institutions and government organizations that require a reliable and up-to-date tool to screen individuals and legal entities against international sanctions regimes.
The project is built as a universal solution for working with sanctions lists issued by leading international regulators and oversight bodies, including the United States sanctions lists (OFAC), the European Union sanctions lists, the United Kingdom sanctions lists (OFSI), the United Nations Security Council Consolidated List, as well as national and sector-specific lists from other organizations and jurisdictions.
Purpose of the platform
ScanSanctions is intended for use in the following processes:
Sanctions compliance, AML / KYC / KYB checks, risk assessment for international counterparties, and regulatory or administrative decision-making.
For financial institutions
For banks and financial companies, ScanSanctions provides a single interface and API access to automate screening of customers, beneficial owners, and counterparties as part of internal compliance procedures.
The platform helps reduce regulatory, legal, and reputational risks associated with sanctions violations and supports organizations in meeting the requirements of international and national regulators.
For government and public sector organizations
ScanSanctions can be used by government bodies when making decisions related to:
Visa issuance and entry permits, review of immigration applications, screening applicants and organizations for sanctions restrictions, and cross-border or international cooperation.
The platform provides access to consolidated sanctions information from multiple sources, enabling informed decisions based on current data.
Approach and principles
ScanSanctions is built on the following principles:
Use of official and verifiable sanctions data sources, regular updates of sanctions lists, multilingual search and support for name variations, transparency of data sources, and the ability to use both manual screening and automated integration via API.
Our goal is to deliver a reliable, clear, and accessible sanctions screening tool that can be used equally effectively by commercial organizations and government agencies across different jurisdictions.
