Sanction hits in 420 milliseconds, inside the flow.
Real-time screening against OFAC, UN, EU, and UK Sanctions List (UKSL), with phonetic matching and transliteration that cut false positives without missing detections. When it hits, the SAR is already pre-filled.
Lists change constantly. Static screening cannot keep up.
Three pain points that travel together in FX, cross-border trade, crypto, and any operation with international exposure.
The desk drowns in namesakes and noise.
Common name, variable spelling, transliteration from another alphabet. Literal screening returns hundreds of matches that are nothing, and the desk spends the day discarding noise instead of handling the real threat.
The sanction hit the list. Your database does not know.
OFAC, UN, EU, and UKSL update lists constantly. Anyone who screened only at onboarding is running against a stale snapshot. The clean counterparty from yesterday may be sanctioned today.
Crypto and FX with incomplete originator data.
The FATF Travel Rule requires originator and beneficiary data at settlement. Without matching that in real time, the transaction crosses the border incomplete, and the gap shows up in the audit, too late.
Everything in a single call.
Public and private sources queried in parallel, normalized and weighted by the use-case matrix.
Two independent matches. Automatic block.
The engine matches the counterparty against all lists in parallel, resolves phonetic variation and transliteration, and stops the transaction before the money leaves.
Recommendation: Block and report. Two independent matches (OFAC 96% via phonetics + EU CFSP 91%) on the same entity, with incomplete Travel Rule. Transaction stopped automatically; pre-filled SAR opened for COAF on the same call.
Catches Cyrillic-to-Latin, variant spellings, and aliases without becoming a false-positive sieve. Precision rises, noise falls.
The decision happens sub-second, during the transaction. Not a report that arrives after the money has already left.
When it hits, the COAF report is already assembled with evidence, the audit trail, and the rationale. The desk reviews and submits.
The lists you must comply with.
International exposure brings extraterritorial obligations. Four regimes define what you must screen against and how.
US Treasury sanctions
The SDN list reaches any transaction with a US nexus (USD, correspondent, technology). A transaction with a sanctioned entity triggers heavy penalties even without intent.
Multilateral sanctions
The UN Consolidated list and the EU CFSP regime bind transactions with counterparts or transit in those blocs. Continuous screening is mandatory.
UK Sanctions List
The post-Brexit UK regime consolidated its sanctions in the UK Sanctions List (UKSL), published by the FCDO. Transactions with a UK nexus require screening against the UKSL.
Recommendation 16 · transfers
Requires originator and beneficiary data in transfers, including crypto. Without matching that at settlement, the transaction travels incomplete and out of compliance.
