OFAC Sanctions Screening for Marketplace AI Agents

Why Marketplace agents need sanctions screening

Marketplace agents that match buyers and sellers globally have the hardest screening problem: counterparties are strangers, often in different jurisdictions, transacting at machine speed. agentmail screens both sides of every match against OFAC names, wallets, and countries before escrow releases.

A marketplace that lets a sanctioned seller cash out — or a buyer in an embargoed region pay — is on the hook for facilitation. Embedding sanctions checks in the match-and-release flow turns that risk into an automatic decline.
