Free Sanctions & PEP Screening Check

See how sanctions and PEP screening works. Enter a name to view exactly what a live screening checks — across sanctions lists, PEP databases and adverse media.

Educational demonstration only. This tool does not query live watchlists and does not provide a pass/fail result or a compliance decision. For real screening, book a demo.

⚠️ This is an illustrative demo, not a live screening. It does not confirm whether anyone is or isn't sanctioned. Use the One Constellation platform for real, auditable screening.

How It Works

What Sanctions & PEP Screening Actually Does

Sanctions screening checks a customer or transaction against government and international watchlists to prevent dealings with designated parties. Because it is strict-liability, a single missed match can mean serious penalties — so screening must run at onboarding, on transactions, and continuously as lists change.

PEP screening identifies politically exposed persons — and their relatives and close associates — who carry higher corruption risk and require Enhanced Due Diligence. Alongside these, adverse-media screening surfaces negative news that may not yet appear on any official list.

The operational challenge is precision: literal name matching flags every similar name, so effective screening uses tuneable fuzzy matching and clear disposition workflows to separate genuine hits from noise.

What lists does real screening cover?+
A production screening with One Constellation checks 80+ sources — including OFAC, UN, EU, UK HMT and other sanctions lists, global PEP databases, and adverse-media sources.
Why do names produce false positives?+
