Sanctions screening software.Nothing more, nothing less.

Most AML platforms come bundled with eight things you didn't ask for. SanctScan unbundles. Sanctions screening, $0 to start, same engine on every plan.

Priced per screening, not per bundle

You don't pay for adverse media, KYB, or transaction monitoring you don't use. From $0, and only the screenings you actually run.

Live in minutes, not months

Account, name, PDF. Done. No implementation project, no professional services line item, no kickoff with a 'solutions engineer'.

Frequently asked questions

What is sanctions screening?

Sanctions screening checks a name against government lists of sanctioned people, companies, and countries. Most regulated industries are required to do it before onboarding a client, vendor, or counterparty. Skip it and you're looking at fines, frozen funds, or criminal liability. Depending on your regulator.

Which sanctions lists does SanctScan cover?

Nine official lists, all updated daily: OFAC SDN, US Consolidated Screening List, UN Security Council, UK HMT (OFSI), EU Consolidated, Swiss SECO, Canada GAC, Australian DFAT, Japan MOF.

How does continuous monitoring work?

Add an entity to monitoring once. SanctScan rescreens it on every list update, usually daily. If the status changes, you get an email and an optional webhook within minutes. No manual checks, no missed alerts.

Is there really a free plan?

Yes, really. 25 searches a month against all 9 lists. No card, no trial countdown. Stay on free as long as it covers your volume. Move to Solo only when you need continuous monitoring or PDF exports.

What's the best free OFAC screening tool?

Biased answer, but: SanctScan's free plan runs 25 screenings a month against OFAC SDN, US Consolidated, and 7 more lists. Result in under a second, no card. Most "free" tools limit you to one search a day, or hide the actual result behind a sales call.
