SanctionsLookup offers a real-time sanctions screening API designed specifically for fintech firms, payment processors, money service companies, and online marketplaces. The service thoroughly screens individuals, businesses, vessels, aircraft, and cryptocurrency wallets against various sanctions lists including those from OFAC, EU, UN, UK, Australia, Canada, and Switzerland, during the onboarding process and throughout payment transactions. With updates sourced from official channels every 15 minutes, the API boasts an average response time of approximately 200 milliseconds.
Utilizing proprietary fuzzy matching technology, SanctionsLookup effectively identifies name variations, spelling discrepancies, and aliases, which helps to minimize false positive occurrences. Each screening result is accompanied by a match score and a clear explanation for easier understanding.
