Sanction Scanner

Sanction Scanner is a highly accessible, specialized tool that targets a very specific aspect of AML: checking names against global watchlists. While enterprise suites like Actimize cost millions of dollars and take a year to implement, Sanction Scanner is designed to be deployed by a small fintech startup or a regional real estate firm in a matter of days. The platform continuously aggregates data from over 3,000 international sanction lists, regulatory enforcement lists, and PEP databases. Users can access the platform via a simple web portal to manually search a client's name before signing a contract, or they can integrate the lightweight API directly into their onboarding flow to automate the checks. It is particularly popular in industries outside of traditional banking that are newly falling under strict AML regulations, such as real estate, legal firms, and accounting practices. These businesses don't need complex transaction monitoring networks; they simply need to prove to regulators that they checked their clients against the OFAC sanctions list before taking their money. Sanction Scanner provides a cheap, incredibly fast way to check that regulatory box.
