This screening category identifies individuals or entities flagged on various government and international watchlists that indicate involvement in unlawful or high-risk activities. Screening this category is essential for meeting regulatory obligations and avoiding prohibited transactions.

The following items are included:

  • Sanctions lists: Official lists from authorities like the UN, EU, OFAC, and others that designate individuals or entities involved in activities such as terrorism, trafficking, or human rights violations.
  • Other official lists: Additional enforcement or regulatory lists that, while not formal sanctions, indicate high-risk status.
  • War crime: Records relating to individuals or entities implicated in war crimes or violations of international humanitarian law.
  • Terror: Associations with terrorist organisations or individuals known to be involved in terrorism.
  • Other exclusion lists: Broader exclusion databases that include persons disqualified from professional, financial, or commercial activity.
  • Sanctions control: Applies when an entity is owned or controlled (often defined as ≥50%) by a sanctioned party, in line with rules like the OFAC 50% rule.
