It offers real-time screening against US Federal sanctions lists including OFAC SDN, Consolidated, FSE, SSI, and BIS Entity List, as well as EU, UK HMT, and UN Consolidated lists. The API utilizes an advanced 5-layer matching engine, combining exact, fuzzy, phonetic, semantic (using AWS Bedrock Titan embeddings), and identifier matching to minimize false positives and missed matches.

Built on AWS serverless infrastructure, it provides cost-effective, pay-per-screen pricing and sub-second response times.
