Sanctions screening software built for real risk, not alert noise
Unit21 screens every customer and every payment against OFAC, PEP, and global watchlists in real time, then cuts the false positives that bury your team. Configure match logic without engineering, keep a complete audit trail, and walk into any exam ready to defend every decision.
- Screen Against Every List: Check customers and payments against OFAC, UN, EU, OFSI, PEP, and adverse media data, at onboarding and on every list update.
- Cut False Positives, Not Coverage: Fuzzy matching tuned to your risk clears the noise, so analysts work real hits instead of near-name matches.
- Stay Audit-Ready by Default: Every match, decision, and filing sits on one timestamped record you can show any examiner.
- Change Screening Rules in Minutes: Set thresholds and logic yourself, test them against real data, and deploy without waiting on engineering.
Integrating OFAC and sanctions screening directly into our transaction monitoring platform allows us to manage all reviews in one place, making oversight faster, stronger, and more efficient.
Sanctions Screening Software Solutions
Screen payments as they move, with sub-250ms decisioning at the P99, and rescreen your entire book the moment a sanction list changes. Cover OFAC, UN, EU, OFSI, PEP, and adverse media data, and screen beneficial owners so a sanctioned owner behind a clean customer does not slip through.
Most tools flag anything close and hand the rest to your analysts. Unit21 uses fuzzy matching for aliases, transliteration, and partial names, with thresholds you set and test before they go live. Nexo cut false positives by 93% and automated 57% of alert reviews on Unit21.
A sanctions hit is only the start. Keep the alert, match detail, analyst notes, disposition, and filing on one record, then escalate and file SARs, CTRs, and STRs from the same dashboard. Uphold runs reviews 44% faster and cut STR prep from about a week to under 30 minutes.
Whether you are a global bank, a credit union, a fintech, or a cryptocurrency exchange, Unit21 is configurable to your risk profile and payment rails. Build, test, and deploy screening rules without engineering, in minutes instead of weeks, across ACH, wires, RTP, FedNow, cards, and crypto.
