The lists TFS screening covers

The UN list is searched by default. The UAE Local Terrorist List is an optional list: in an account you add it to a search, a CSV batch, an API call or the names you monitor. A result is a name match against the published list at the time of the search, not legal advice.

UAE EOCN

UAE Local Terrorist List (EOCN)

The United Arab Emirates' own list of people and organisations designated as terrorist by Cabinet resolution, whose funds must be frozen without delay, published by the Executive Office for Control and Non-Proliferation (EOCN). It is the UAE's national list under UN Security Council Resolution 1373 and is separate from the UN Security Council lists the UAE also applies.

How screening works in OFACScreen

  1. 1

    Search the name

    Type it as it appears on the passport, Emirates ID or trade licence, in Latin letters or in Arabic. Misspellings, reversed word order and company endings still match, and each result shows its score and the list it came from.

  2. 2

    Review any match

    A match is a possible hit, not a finding. Compare the date of birth, nationality, passport number and other details on the entry with what you hold on the customer. Most name matches are not the listed person.

  3. 3

    Keep the record

    On a plan, every search is logged with the date and time, the name, the lists it covered, the result and who ran it, and exports as CSV. What you do with a confirmed match is your compliance officer's decision: OFACScreen does not freeze funds or file reports.

What OFACScreen adds to the EOCN's notifications

The EOCN emails subscribers when a list changes, and you then check your customers against it. In an account, add the UAE Local Terrorist List to your searches and the check is a name search instead of a spreadsheet. On a plan, the names you save are re-screened every day, and you get an email when one of them matches a listing.

The free search is for one name at a time. A plan adds CSV batches, the API, monitored names and an audit trail of every search with the lists it covered. Prices are in US dollars.

OFACScreen is an independent service. It is not affiliated with the EOCN, the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit or any UAE authority.

Not yet. The free search covers the default lists, among them the UN Security Council list. The UAE Local Terrorist List is optional: in an account you can add it to a search, a CSV batch, an API call or the names you monitor.
Yes. A name typed in Arabic is matched against the Arabic spelling on the list, and a Latin spelling against the Latin names the list gives. Transliteration variants and misspellings still match, each with a score.
First check that it is the same person or company, using the date of birth, nationality and document numbers on the entry. OFACScreen shows the possible matches and keeps the record of the search. What follows a confirmed match is your compliance officer's decision; OFACScreen does not freeze funds, file reports or contact any authority.
It is a record that you searched named lists at a stated time and what came back. It is not legal advice, and it does not replace the checks, reports and records your own obligations require.
