Can I screen business names for sanctions?

Yes. Business and organization names are the most common type of SDN list entry — thousands of companies, banks, front organizations, and shell companies appear on the list. Pass the business name as the name parameter to screen it.

Business screening challenges

Business names are harder to match than wallet addresses due to variations: "ABC Corp" vs "ABC Corporation" vs "ABC Corp Ltd." SanctionsAI's fuzzy matching handles these variations automatically, but the false-positive rate is higher for business names than for wallet addresses.

Best practice

Combine business name screening with country and, where available, wallet screening. A triple match (name + jurisdiction + wallet) provides the highest confidence result.
