Free OFAC tools

Sanctions screening you can run without an account, an API key, or sending your counterparty list to anyone — including us.

OFAC SDN screening — in your browser

Paste or upload a list of names and screen it against the full Specially Designated Nationals list. Matching runs client-side in your own browser, so the names you screen never leave your machine and are never logged.

The SDN list as JSON and CSV

The same data as a plain download: 19,254 designated entries and 20,350 alternate identities, parsed straight from OFAC's own export. Use it in your own tooling.

Compliance readiness check

A short self-assessment of your sanctions-screening posture, with the gaps ranked.

Scope. These tools cover the OFAC SDN list only — not the OFAC Consolidated (non-SDN) lists, not EU/UK/UN lists, and they do not perform 50 Percent Rule ownership analysis. OFAC's own sanctions search is authoritative for any compliance decision. Nothing here is legal or compliance advice.

When you outgrow them

The free tools screen names against a list. If you need fuzzy matching, wallet-address screening, audit logging, or a call your agent can make before it pays a counterparty, that's the screening API — and there's a free tier on it too.
