Sanctions Screening Software: 2026 Buyer's Guide

Every regulated firm screens names against sanctions lists. The difference between vendors is not whether they screen, but how well.

What to actually evaluate

• OFAC, EU, UN, UK HMT, and 50+ national list coverage
• Update SLA (under 4 hours after a list change)
• Secondary identifiers: DOB, nationality, passport number
• Fuzzy match tuning per script (Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, CJK)
• Adverse media coverage

False positive cost

A vendor with 8% match rate costs you 3x more in analyst time than one with 2%. Tuning matters more than raw list size.

How we deliver

Our AML & PEP screening product runs against the canonical lists with tuned thresholds per customer segment, and routes hits into an analyst queue with full context.
