## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability bank-health-ofac-screening-lookup-9b087b51
```

Example prompt: Can you screen 'First National Bank of Texas' for OFAC sanctions compliance and return up to 5 matching institution candidates, narrowed to Texas?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to screen a named US bank or financial institution against OFAC sanctions as part of a compliance, onboarding, or billing verification workflow, especially when you want to narrow results by US state. It is best suited for agent-driven compliance pipelines that can handle x402 micropayments in USDC. Prefer alternatives if you need bulk batch screening, non-US institutions, or a free/unauthenticated service.

## Known failure modes

- No bank found matching the provided name — result may be empty or return zero candidates
- State code not recognized — query proceeds without geographic filtering
- Limit parameter out of allowed range (1–20) — request rejected with validation error
- Payment not completed via x402 — 402 response requiring USDC micropayment before data is returned
- Ambiguous bank name with many matches — result capped at requested limit, may miss the intended institution

## How this service works

X402 micropayments server — AI agents pay USDC for OFAC screening, rates, and billing verification.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a success flag and a result object containing OFAC screening status and health data for the matched bank or financial institution candidates, ranked by relevance to the queried name and optional state filter.
