Sanctions & PEP Screening API

A deterministic first pass against sanctions lists.

About this API

Compliance agents need a fast, explainable screening call. This endpoint takes a name, optional country and date of birth, and returns candidate matches with a score, the matched list and the reason for the match.

The preview uses a small local sample so the workflow can be developed safely. Production replaces the sample with OFAC, EU, UN, UK and PEP datasets, refreshed on a schedule. The response shape is designed not to change.

It is not a replacement for a compliance officer. It is a deterministic first pass that lets an agent decide whether to continue, request more data, or escalate.

For AI agents

Screen a name against a small sanctions and PEP sample and return candidate matches with a score and reason.

Scope

Preview sample only. Not an official sanctions list, legal advice or a replacement for a compliance officer.
