EU Sanctions Checker: Screen companies in the dashboard and via API

1 min

We added an EU Sanctions Checker to firmafind. You can now search companies and individuals against active EU financial sanction lists to flag restricted entities before doing business.

What it does

The tool checks names against current consolidated EU financial sanction databases:

  • Search by company or individual name to catch restricted entities.
  • View match details, sanction regimes, and official publication references.
  • Run checks during vendor onboarding or routine compliance reviews.

Available in the web tool and via API

Try the interactive web search on the EU Sanctions Checker tool page or run automated queries via the firmafind API.

To query sanctions programmatically:

curl -X GET "https://firmafind.at/api/sanctions/search?name=VTB%20Bank&type=entity" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
