For UAE DNFBPs and small compliance teams
AML software for sanctions screening in the UAE
OFACScreen is AML software for one job: screening customers, beneficial owners and counterparties against sanctions lists. Brokers, gold dealers, accountants and corporate service providers in the UAE use it to check names against the UN list and, as an optional list, the UAE Local Terrorist List, one at a time, in CSV files or through the API.

What the AML screening software does
Fuzzy name matching
Transliterated Arabic names, misspellings, reversed word order and company endings still match, each with a score and the list it came from. Names typed in Arabic are matched too.
The UAE Local Terrorist List
An optional list in every account. Add it to a search, a batch, an API call or your monitored names, next to the UN list and the others searched by default.
Batch CSV screening
Upload a customer or supplier file and screen every row in one run. On every paid plan, with the row limit rising by plan.
Daily re-screening
Save the names you need to keep checking. Each one is re-screened every day, with an email when a new match appears.
Audit trail
Every search is logged with the date and time, the name, the result and who ran it, and exports as CSV when a supervisor asks to see it.
REST API
Screen from your onboarding or payments flow. Single and batch endpoints, on every plan including the trial.
Next to checking the EOCN's file by hand
The EOCN publishes the UAE Local Terrorist List as an Excel file and a PDF. It is the authoritative source. Here is what a screening tool adds.
| Feature | OFACScreen | The EOCN's files |
|---|---|---|
| Lists in one search | 14 by default, plus optional lists | One list per file |
| Fuzzy matching | Yes | No |
| Batch CSV screening | Yes | No |
| Saved names re-screened daily | Yes | No |
| A record of each search | Exportable audit trail | No |
| The publisher's own data | Loaded from it | Yes |
| Price | Free search, plans from $49/month | Free |
Use the EOCN's own files to confirm a match against the source.

What we cover
Sanctions screening: the UN Security Council list, OFAC, the EU and UK lists and the other default lists, with the UAE Local Terrorist List as an optional list.
What we do not cover
PEP lists, adverse media, identity verification, customer risk scoring, transaction monitoring and goAML reporting. If you need all of that in one tool, a full AML suite is the better fit, and OFACScreen can still sit beside it as the screening step.
How you buy
Published prices in US dollars, self-serve signup and month-to-month or yearly billing. No sales call is needed, though you can talk to us.
