An OFAC screening tool is software used to check people, companies, vessels, transactions, and other entities against U.S. sanctions lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

What it typically does

  • Screens names against the SDN List and other OFAC sanctions lists
  • Flags possible matches using fuzzy matching for spelling variations
  • Supports batch screening and real-time screening
  • Keeps audit logs of screening decisions
  • Helps manage alerts, escalations, and case reviews

Common use cases

  • Customer onboarding / KYC
  • Vendor due diligence
  • Payments screening
  • Trade and shipping compliance
  • Ongoing monitoring of existing customers and counterparties

Key features to look for

  • Accurate matching logic with false-positive reduction
  • Regular list updates
  • Support for aliases, transliterations, and DOB/address matching
  • Case management workflow
  • Reporting and audit trail
  • API integration with CRM, ERP, payment, or onboarding systems

Important note

A screening tool helps with compliance, but it does not replace legal or sanctions advice. You still need policies, escalation procedures, and trained reviewers for potential matches.

  2. a sample screening policy, or
  3. how to build an OFAC screening workflow.
