Introducing OFACScreen: Why We Built It and What It Does

We built OFACScreen because the options for small and mid-size businesses aren't great. Enterprise compliance platforms cost tens of thousands per year. The free OFAC search on Treasury's website only does exact matching, doesn't cover non-OFAC lists, and gives you no audit trail. There's a big gap in the middle.

What OFACScreen Does

8 Lists, One Search

Every search checks OFAC SDN, OFAC Non-SDN, BIS Denied Persons, UN Security Council, EU Financial Sanctions, UK OFSI, Canada SEMA, and Swiss SECO. All lists update automatically every hour.

Fuzzy Matching

Names are compared using token-based and phonetic algorithms that catch transliterations, alternate spellings, and swapped name order. Every result comes back with a confidence score so you can tell the difference between a strong match and a weak one.

Batch Screening

Upload a CSV of your customer database and screen thousands of names at once. Results come back as a downloadable report showing which names matched and at what confidence level.

REST API

For teams that want screening built into their own applications: onboarding flows, payment processing, loan origination, whatever. The API returns JSON with match results and scores.

Continuous Monitoring

Add customers to your monitoring list and OFACScreen re-screens them automatically whenever the underlying sanctions lists change. You get notified when a new match appears.

Audit Logs

Every search is logged with the query, timestamp, lists checked, and results. Export logs as CSV for your compliance files or examiner requests.

Pricing

Plans start at $49/month. No annual contracts required (though yearly billing saves about 30%). There's a 14-day free trial with 25 searches if you want to try it out first.
