How this service works
Ownership-chain sanctions screening: resolve a company (by LEI or name), walk its corporate ownership chain via GLEIF Level 2 relationship data (direct parent, ultimate parent), and screen every entity in the chain — including transliterated and alternate names — against OFAC SDN, EU consolidated, and UN Security Council lists. Catches the case where your counterparty is clean but its parent is sanctioned. Unique combination of KYB registry resolution and sanctions screening.
Output
Returns a structured report of the full corporate ownership chain (direct parent, ultimate parent) resolved via GLEIF Level 2 data, with each entity in the chain screened against OFAC SDN, EU consolidated, and UN Security Council lists. Includes match details, confidence scores, and any hits on alternate or transliterated names.
Example use cases
Vendor due diligence for supply chain
“We're about to sign a contract with a Japanese manufacturing firm. Can you pull up their company profile by name, trace their ownership structure all the way to the ultimate parent, and check if any of them show up on OFAC, EU, or UN sanctions lists? I need to make sure we're not inadvertently doing business with a sanctioned entity.”
Trade finance payment approval
“A payment request came in from a company in Singapore that we've never worked with before. Look them up by LEI, walk their corporate ownership chain, and screen every entity against OFAC SDN, EU consolidated, and UN Security Council lists. I need to confirm nobody in their ownership structure is sanctioned before we release the wire.”
Cross-border M&A compliance screening
“We're evaluating an acquisition target in Europe. Can you resolve the company and trace their full ownership chain — including direct and ultimate parents — then run a comprehensive sanctions check on every entity using OFAC, EU, and UN lists? I want to catch any hidden exposure before we commit to the deal.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://data.japanagent.dev/screen/ownership-chain?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to catch indirect sanctions exposure — i.e., when the immediate counterparty may be clean but a parent or ultimate parent could be sanctioned. Ideal for B2B onboarding, vendor due diligence, trade finance, and cross-border payments where beneficial ownership transparency is required. Prefer over a simple entity-level sanctions check whenever corporate structure or ownership opacity is a concern.
Side effects
- Company name cannot be resolved to a GLEIF match — try providing the LEI directly
- LEI format invalid — must be exactly 20 characters
- No ownership chain data available in GLEIF Level 2 for this entity — standalone company with no parent relationships
- All sanctions lists temporarily unavailable — retry
- Low-confidence name match below threshold — raise threshold or provide LEI
- Rate limit exceeded or payment required (HTTP 402)
