Sanctions screening - checking names against government watchlists - is one of the first steps in due diligence. But the tools built for it are often designed for large financial institutions, with enterprise pricing, annual contracts, and complex integrations.
Sanctions Checklist was built to make sanctions screening research simple, accessible, and affordable for teams that just need to check names, document the result, and move on.
Query multiple sanctions lists at once. Choose broad, fuzzy, or exact matching. Toggle PEP results on or off.
View full entity details with official source data, Wikidata enrichment, related entities, and a smart Google search built from the entity's profile.
Save results to your checklist, use research templates to structure your notes, and export timestamped PDF or CSV reports.
Built to support sanctions compliance, AML screening, and counterparty due diligence workflows.
Search across 26 sanctions, debarment, and regulatory lists from multiple jurisdictions in a single query. Essential for KYC, KYP, and third-party risk assessments.
Entity detail pages automatically query Wikidata and Wikipedia in real time to surface related entities, ownership structures, images, and background information.
Each entity page generates a rich Google search query using the entity's name, aliases, country context, and type, so you can quickly find additional information.
Structured templates for documenting research collaborations, including scope of work, technologies, deliverables, and responsible staff.
Generate timestamped PDF and CSV reports with search parameters, matched entities, sources checked, and your notes. Integrates with existing compliance workflows.
Document that you searched and found no match. This is essential for your audit trail and demonstrates due diligence even when a screening is clear.
Sanctions Checklist aggregates data from official government and regulatory sources across multiple jurisdictions. Lists are updated daily via automated downloads to support your ongoing KYC, KYP, and AML obligations.
Sanctions Checklist includes a dedicated PEP database sourced from Wikidata, covering nearly 300,000 politically exposed persons worldwide. PEP screening is a key component of anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) compliance, and is widely required under Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations.
PEP results are toggled separately from sanctions results, so you can run a combined or standalone PEP check depending on your workflow. PEP matches are clearly distinguished from sanctions designations in your search results.
