What is Sanctions screening?

Checking customers, suppliers, payments and transaction parties against national and international sanctions and asset-freeze lists.

A match may require stopping the transaction and reporting to the authorities. For exporters and financial institutions, a sanctions breach has serious consequences such as fines, loss of banking relationships and reputational damage.
