This page performs no screening and holds no list data. It cannot tell you whether a counterparty is sanctioned, and any page that claims to do that from a static file is lying to you — the lists change by the week and only the issuing authority is current. What this does instead: routes you to the official sources, tells you what to search for, and tells you what to record so your check stands up later.
What actually binds you
UN measures are implemented into national law by member states — you comply with your own country’s implementing rules, not with the UN list directly.
US measures reach further than US companies. Dealings in US dollars, US-origin goods or software, or US persons can pull a non-US business into scope. Ask whether any leg of your transaction touches the US.
Ownership and control matter as much as names. Most regimes catch entities owned or controlled above a threshold by a listed person, even when the entity itself is not listed. A clean name search is not a clean result.
Your bank will screen too, and to its own standards. A payment can be blocked even where you concluded there was no listing.
It does not screen. No list is embedded, no list is fetched, and nothing you type is checked against anything. The page composes a search plan out of your own words.
A search plan is not a clearance, and a nil return is not a defence. Names transliterate several ways, entities restructure, and lists update between your search and your payment.
This is not legal advice. Sanctions exposure is a legal question with criminal consequences in most jurisdictions. For anything above a routine check, use a screening provider with a maintained database and take advice from counsel.
The earlier version of this page promised to “screen counterparties against OFAC, UN, EU and UK sanctions lists”. It never did, and it never could. That promise is withdrawn rather than quietly reworded.
