The Screening Portal allows for manual screening for single searches or template-based batch screenings for up to 10,000 screening requests.
1. Screen manually for single records
- Sign in at sanctions.io.
- On the Screening Portal, you can conduct single screenings manually by entering any name.
Note: The 'Sanctions Lists Collection' is selected by default. Click on Advanced Search Options to specify other lists.
1.1. Advanced Search Options
Refine your search for more precise results by including additional parameters, such as country, date of birth, and entity type, and selecting specific watchlists relevant to your needs.
💡 Confidence Threshold
Adjust the Confidence Score Threshold by dragging the slider to the right or left. We recommend starting with a confidence threshold of 88%, which is a good starting point to minimize false positives.
1.2. Select Watchlists
You can select one or multiple watchlists, or choose one of our Collections to include an entire category of lists in your search.
- What are "Collections" in the Screening Portal?
Collections options are predefined groups that include a comprehensive set of related sanctions, PEP, criminal, and high-risk jurisdiction lists. Each collection bundles together all lists for that category to simplify selection and ensure complete coverage.
When you select one of the Collections options in your screening settings, you are screening against the entire set of lists within the selected collection. These collections include:- 🌐 Sanctions Lists - Includes OFAC (USA), UN, EU, UK (HM Treasury), Canada, Australia, Japan, and all other lists.
- 👥PEP Lists - Covers Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and their close associates (RCAs).
- 🚨 Crime Lists - Includes INTERPOL Red Notices and FBI Most Wanted.
- 🌍High-Risk Jurisdictions - Includes FATF high-risk lists, OFAC country programs, FinCEN advisories, and EU tax blacklists.
