Batch OFAC Screening

Batch screening runs the OFAC check across many counterparties at once, for periodic reviews rather than live payments.

TL;DR

TL;DR: Batch OFAC screening checks multiple transactions or counterparties at the same time, typically for periodic compliance reviews rather than real time payment decisions.

What it means

Instead of screening one counterparty per call, batch screening submits a list of names or wallets and returns an ALLOW or BLOCK result for each. It suits onboarding lists, portfolio sweeps, and re screening existing counterparties after OFAC updates the SDN List, which SanctionsAI syncs hourly so a batch run always reflects the newest data.

Why it matters for agent payments

A single real time check does not cover the counterparties you already hold. Batch screening lets you recheck everyone at once, which matters because designations change and the 50 Percent Rule can newly block an entity that was previously clean. A past ALLOW is not a guarantee of a future one.

How it fits your plan

Batch volume drives the pricing tier. The free tier covers 5 checks per day with no signup, Dev at $19 a month covers 10,000 checks, and Pro at $99 a month covers 100,000, with $0.05 per check via x402 for high volume work. Batch runs slot naturally into the higher tiers when you sweep large lists. Running a batch before a launch or a quarterly review keeps the whole population current without touching the real time payment path. It is the natural complement to a per transaction screen.
