SanctionsLookup Launches Free OFAC Search Tool for U.S. Sanctions Screening

WASHINGTON - EntSun -- Compliance teams can now screen individuals, entities, vessels, and aircraft against U.S. Treasury sanctions data using SanctionsLookup's free OFAC search tool. No account, setup, or payment required.

Any business that touches the U.S. financial system through USD payments, U.S. customers, or correspondent banking must take OFAC sanctions risk seriously, even when it is not based in the United States. A single prohibited transaction can carry a civil penalty of up to $377,700 per violation, or twice the value of the transaction, regardless of intent. That makes fast sanctions checks important at onboarding, payment review, and ongoing monitoring.

The free OFAC checker searches the OFAC SDN List and Consolidated Sanctions List, covering over 17,000 SDN entries and approximately 1,920 non-SDN entries. The advanced fuzzy name matching algorithm surfaces potential matches, aliases, and close name variations, while 15-minute data syncs keep searches current as OFAC publishes updates on no fixed schedule.

The tool is built for quick manual OFAC checks: customer onboarding, payment review, match investigation, and on-demand sanctions screening. It is designed for compliance teams, fintechs, payment processors, importers, exporters, and companies that need fast access to U.S. Treasury sanctions data without creating an account or setting up an API.

"The official OFAC search tool provides the data, but it still feels like software from the 2000s. Compliance teams deserve something that actually keeps up with how they work." — SanctionsLookup spokesperson

For teams that need automated OFAC screening at onboarding, transaction processing, or ongoing monitoring, SanctionsLookup offers a live OFAC screening API built on the same data and matching logic, with 100 free calls and no credit card required.
