Answer: Remittance agents screen counterparties against the OFAC SDN list (19,218 names, 947 crypto wallets, 16 embargoed jurisdictions) via a single API call before every payment. A "clean": true response means proceed; "clean": false means halt. The check runs in under 100ms and the free tier covers 5 checks/day with no API key.

Why do Remittance agents need OFAC sanctions screening?

Remittance agents that send cross-border transfers are the textbook OFAC use case - high volume, many jurisdictions, strict screening duties. agentmail screens sender and receiver names, payout wallets, and destination countries on every transfer before it is queued.

Money transmitters are expected to screen every party on both ends; an autonomous remittance agent that skips this transfers the violation - and the penalty - to its operator. Building the check into the send flow makes compliance automatic, not a post-transaction report.
