Sanctions Verified checks each name against eight sanctions sources when you connect, when a contact changes, and when it turns up on a new bill or invoice after a list update. Each check leaves a dated certificate on the contact for your bank, auditor or funder.
$35 a month per company when we open. The one-name check is free today.

Sanctions Verified · 01 Oct 2026
No match on 8 sources checked.
Lists screened, fetched from source every 6 to 24 hours:
OFAC, the UK, the EU and the UN publish their lists for anyone to download. OFAC even runs a public search page. It takes one name per lookup.
So the data costs nothing. The work is what costs you. Checking 400 vendors and customers one at a time takes hours, and the lists keep changing after you finish. Then a bank asks for proof, and the proof is a folder of screenshots.

Every active vendor and customer is screened when you connect. After that, a contact is checked again when it is edited, or when it turns up on a bill or invoice after a list update. Screen now checks every contact again whenever you press it.
You get an email and the contact gets a note. Open the review, see why it scored, then clear it with a reason or confirm it. Each decision goes on a dated certificate.
A bank's sanctions questionnaire, an auditor, or a large customer's supplier review all ask the same thing: show me you checked. Each certificate names the counterparty, the lists and their versions, the result, and who cleared any possible match and why.
What's on a certificate
US sanctions apply to everyone in the United States, and to US citizens and companies abroad. UK sanctions apply to everyone in the UK, and to UK nationals and companies wherever they are. Size doesn't matter. Most businesses only think about it when one of these happens:
Banks and customers ask how you check OFAC and US export lists. Send them the log.
Funders and auditors ask whether grantees were screened before you paid them.
Primes push screening down the supply chain and want proof at renewal.
Since June 2022, OFSI can fine a business without proving it knew. A dated record shows the check was done.
When a client's bank asks about sanctions, the answer is already in their file. One subscription per client file.

Every list and every feature, with a certificate for each check. Up to 2,000 vendors and customers. 14-day free trial when we open.
Sanctions compliance for small business means screening who you pay and who pays you, acting on a real match, and keeping records. US, UK, EU and Australia.
Do I need to screen?

A UK, Australian or New Zealand company is not bound by OFAC just for existing. Dollar payments, US partners and US goods can still bring it in. Here is how.

Banks and payment platforms screen for their own legal risk. The rules still apply to you. What their checks cover, what they miss and the record you need.
