How this service works
OFAC SDN screen — fuzzy-screen a person or organization name against the public OFAC SDN list (including aliases). Returns scored potential matches. Not clearance.
Output
Returns a list of scored potential matches from the OFAC SDN list, each with a similarity score indicating how closely the queried name matches an SDN entry or alias. Does not constitute an official clearance or definitive determination.
Example use cases
Onboarding KYC sanctions check
“Before we onboard this new vendor, can you screen the name 'Armand Duval Trading LLC' against the OFAC SDN list with a threshold of 0.55 and show me the top 25 potential matches?”
Individual counterparty risk screen
“I need to run a sanctions check on 'Mohammad Al-Rashidi' — can you fuzzy-match that name against the OFAC SDN list with at least 60% confidence and return any hits?”
Automated transaction compliance check
“Before processing this wire transfer, screen the beneficiary name 'Hezbollah Financial Services' against the OFAC SDN list with a threshold of 0.7 and give me up to 50 matches.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://x402-ofac-api.vercel.app/api/v1/ofac-sdn?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fast, pay-per-call fuzzy OFAC SDN name screen without maintaining your own sanctions database. Ideal for AI agents performing KYC/AML checks during onboarding or transaction flows where a lightweight probabilistic match (not a definitive clearance) is sufficient. Prefer over building in-house when you need alias-aware fuzzy matching with configurable thresholds at low call volume.
Side effects
- Empty query string returns an error or empty results
- Threshold outside 0-1 range may cause a validation error
- Limit above 50 is capped or rejected
- Ambiguous short names may return many false positives
- No matches found does not guarantee the entity is not sanctioned — only that no fuzzy match exceeded the threshold
- Network or Vercel cold-start timeout on first call
