SanctionsLookup
SanctionsLookup is a real-time OFAC screening API for money services businesses, payment service providers, marketplaces and online platforms, and fintech companies. Sanctions lists sync every 15 minutes.
It screens individuals, entities, vessels, aircraft, and crypto wallet addresses against the U.S. Treasury's SDN and Consolidated Non-SDN lists (SSI, FSE). Fuzzy matching handles typos, aliases, and Cyrillic, Arabic, and Chinese transliteration. Hard identifiers (passport, national ID, registration numbers) and attributes (date of birth, country, address) reduce false positives. Matches return a confidence score and a human-readable explanation. REST/JSON, under 200 ms, 1-20 subjects per request.
Pricing starts at $49/month for 5,000 screenings, no annual contract. 100 free trial screenings, no credit card. Covers U.S. OFAC lists only.
SanctionsLookup also offers a free OFAC search tool and a public OFAC enforcement database with 1,000+ actions since 2003.
