Screen customers, third-parties, companies, and individuals against comprehensive sanctions, PEP, adverse media and criminal watchlists. Use a fast 350ms API, web portal or your own system.
Or build your screening blueprint in 60 secondsThe pressures neobanks, payment firms and lenders hit as volume, markets and regulatory expectations all grow at once.
FinTechs often scale at unprecedented pace. New products and jurisdictions add new screening obligations and volume. Screening against the right regimes with fresh data is critical to compliance.
Legacy and manual screening processes send false positive rates as high as 90 percent, and lists that are days old add more noise. Clearing them wastes valuable time and effort.
The FCA, BaFin and FinCEN look for screening embedded in the stack and running continuously. Many neobanks and FinTechs have been fined for control gaps and late reporting.
Every clear, alert and override needs a timestamp, the list version behind it and a named reviewer. Trailkeeping is the hardest thing to produce after the fact, and regulators require it often.
Set your model, the checkpoints where screening runs today, the markets you serve and your monthly volume. The blueprint updates live: the API request to send, the list set behind it, the call volume it implies, and the exposure still left open.
Select every checkpoint that is screened. Leave the rest off.
Downloads as a text brief you can forward to engineering. No email required.
Six moments where a designated party can reach your balance sheet. Select one to see what gets screened, and what it costs to miss it.
Roughly 350 ms average response against 75+ sanctions, PEP and criminal watchlists. Fast enough to sit inside the flow rather than behind it.
Lists refresh every 60 minutes. Your book is re-screened automatically and a webhook fires the moment a customer or counterparty is designated.
Arabic, Cyrillic and Chinese name variants scored consistently, with an adjustable threshold so you decide where auto-clear ends and review begins.
Every alert, clear and override timestamped against the list snapshot used, exportable to CSV or JSON per entity or per market.

"The product is amazing and the tech is tight. We integrated the sanctions.io API within a couple of days and now perform daily screenings of our entire customer base."
"Our experience with sanctions.io has been transformative for our compliance processes. Their reliable and comprehensive data feeds give us the peace of mind that comes from operating within international compliance standards."
"We were screening at onboarding and nowhere else. Beneficiary screening on outbound payments caught two designated payees in the first quarter. Both would have settled."
Bring your onboarding and payment flow. We'll map where the API call goes, what it costs at your volume, and what changes for your analysts. No deck.
How screening programmes are built, tuned and defended: list selection across OFAC, EU, UN and HMT/OFSI, thresholds you can defend in an examination, false-positive management, and the evidence examiners ask for.
The evaluation criteria that actually separate providers: list coverage and refresh cadence, match-quality benchmarking, latency under load, data residency, and the commercial terms that bite at volume. Includes an RFP question set.
The one-pager procurement and IT ask for: full list inventory, refresh cadence, endpoint reference, latency and uptime figures, security posture, data residency and deployment options.
