Free sanctions & OFAC screening
Sanctions exposure can sink a deal or trigger serious liability. OpenDD screens any company or individual against the major sanctions and watchlists — OFAC's SDN and consolidated lists and other government sources — and links each hit back to the official record so you can verify it yourself.
Screen for sanctions free →What it screens
Enter a name and OpenDD checks it against the U.S. Treasury OFAC lists and other consolidated government watchlists, returning potential matches with the details you need to confirm or rule out identity — not just a red light.
Screen before you contract
Run screening at onboarding for any customer, vendor, investor or counterparty, and re-screen periodically — lists change. Sanctions checks pair naturally with adverse media and regulatory enforcement screening for a fuller risk picture.
Verify every hit
Name matches are a starting point, not a verdict. OpenDD gives you the matched record so you can confirm whether it is really your subject before acting — essential for avoiding false positives on common names.

Frequently asked questions
How can I do a free OFAC check?
Enter the company or person in OpenDD's Trade Restrictions / sanctions module. It screens the OFAC SDN and consolidated lists and returns source-linked potential matches to verify.
Which lists are covered?
The U.S. Treasury OFAC lists and other consolidated government watchlists, with each result linked back to its official source record.
Is a name match a confirmed hit?
No. A match flags a possible identity that you must confirm against the underlying record — common names produce false positives, so identity confirmation is always required.
