Watchlist Lookup
About Watchlist Lookup
Quick answer. An OFAC lookup runs a name through Sanctions List Search and reads the program code. The SDN list is blocked persons. The consolidated list holds other OFAC sanctions lists. A weak name match is a question, not a conclusion.
What this site is for
OFAC publishes SDN data in CSV, XML, and PDF on the Sanctions List Service. The search tool is for one name. The files are for a program that needs the whole list. Technical questions go to the contact OFAC prints, not to a random vendor.
An OFAC name check should store the exact string, the slider setting, and every returned identifier. Clearing a false match means writing which identifier did not match.
What we will not pretend to be
Watchlist Lookup is not OFAC and cannot tell you to block a customer.
