Sanctions list screening: which lists apply to your business
Last updated:
Each jurisdiction maintains its own sanctions lists. Which apply to you depends on where and with whom you do business. Am I Compliant provides 20 official sanctions lists from 18 jurisdictions, which you can activate individually. Each check records which lists were used.
Why are there different sanctions lists?
Sanctions are imposed by individual jurisdictions: the EU, the United Nations, the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and many other states. Each maintains its own lists. They differ in coverage, update frequency and scope.
Which lists apply to my business?
That depends on the jurisdiction of your business activities. For businesses in the EU, EU and UN lists are the starting point. A US connection, for example through US goods, US persons or US-dollar payments, brings OFAC lists into scope. UK or Swiss lists are relevant to business connected to those jurisdictions. Am I Compliant therefore lets you select which lists are active for your business.
