The EU maintains a consolidated list of people, groups, and entities subject to financial sanctions. All EU countries must enforce it, so banks and businesses are required to screen against it. This tool queries the EU FSF (Financial Sanctions Files) database directly.
Who needs to do sanctions screening?▾
Banks, payment providers, and any company onboarding new customers. Sanctions screening is part of KYC and AML checks.
How current is this data?▾
The tool fetches the latest EU sanctions XML from the European Commission's FSF server. The EU updates the list when new measures pass. Data is cached on the server and refreshed at least every 24 hours.
What data does the EU sanctions list contain?▾
The list includes sanctioned persons and entities with their full names, aliases, citizenship, date of birth, EU reference number, relevant regulation, and sanctions programme (e.g. IRQ for Iraq, PRK for North Korea).
