What the EU Consolidated Sanctions List (FSF) Covers

The EU Consolidated Sanctions List, also known as the Financial Sanctions Files (FSF), compiles all individuals, entities, and bodies subject to financial restrictive measures imposed by the European Union. These measures are designed to combat terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and human rights violations, among other serious threats. This list is crucial for businesses across various sectors that interact with European markets or entities, helping them identify potential engagement in transactions with sanctioned parties. Regularly checking this list is a fundamental part of responsible business conduct.

How to Check a Name Against the EU Sanctions List in Seconds

Our platform allows you to perform a quick EU sanctions list check directly from our homepage. Simply enter the name you wish to screen into the search box. There is no need for registration or credit card details. Each search screens the entered name against the OFAC SDN list, the US Consolidated Screening List, the EU Consolidated Sanctions List, the UK Sanctions List, the UN Security Council Consolidated List, France's registre national des gels (the national designations published by the Direction générale du Trésor), Poland's national sanctions list (MSWiA), and the Swiss SECO consolidated list. You receive results almost instantly, showing any potential matches. Users can perform up to 10 free single-name checks per day.

Our system employs deterministic fuzzy name matching, using Jaro-Winkler and token-set algorithms, to identify transliteration variants and aliases for your review. It is important to remember that our tool is an aid. Every potential match identified by our screening service requires human review. Your organisation retains full responsibility for all final compliance decisions.

Bulk-Checking Many Names from CSV or Excel Files

For businesses needing to screen multiple names simultaneously, we offer a convenient bulk upload feature. You can upload a CSV or XLSX file containing up to 2,000 names. Our system will automatically detect the column containing the names to be screened. Once processed, a detailed report is sent to your email address. This report includes the input name, the match result, the specific list matched, a match score, and a timestamp for each list checked. Even for names with no matches, the report confirms 'no match found on [list] as of [timestamp]' for full transparency.

Reports are available in PDF and CSV formats, with JSON also as an option. Our service places stored data in Cloudflare's Eastern Europe region (location hint EEUR), and requests pass through Cloudflare's global edge network, which can be outside the EU.

Name matching normally runs on a matching server in Helsinki, Finland, hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH; if that server is not available or returns an error, or if we switch it off, the matching runs in Cloudflare's network, which can be outside the EU; uploaded files and generated reports are deleted no later than 24 hours after upload. Customer data is never used to train any AI models. This efficient process provides a verifiable record of your screening efforts, aiding your due diligence.

Why Daily Updates and List Refresh Matter for Sanctions Screening

Sanctions lists, including the EU Consolidated Sanctions List, are dynamic and subject to frequent changes. New individuals or entities can be added, or existing entries can be modified or removed, often without prior notice. Relying on outdated information can expose your business to significant regulatory and reputational risks. Our service addresses this by refreshing all eight official lists – OFAC SDN, US CSL, EU Consolidated, UK Sanctions List, UN Security Council Consolidated List, France's registre national des gels, Poland's lista sankcyjna MSWiA, and the Swiss SECO consolidated list – on a daily basis. This means your EU sanctions list check is performed against data refreshed daily.

This commitment to daily updates supports your due diligence practices. It helps small and medium businesses to stay informed about changes, supporting their efforts to address their obligations effectively. While our tool provides current information, users should always confirm their specific legal obligations with their own legal advisor for a full understanding.

Does using this service mean I am compliant with EU sanctions?

Our service is a due-diligence aid, designed to assist small and medium businesses in their screening efforts. It does not provide legal advice, certify compliance, or approve counterparties. Every potential match requires human review, and your organisation remains responsible for its own compliance decisions and confirming its specific obligations with a legal advisor.

This service is a due-diligence aid and not an authority. It does not provide legal advice, certify compliance, or approve any counterparty. Every potential match requires human review. The responsibility for all compliance decisions remains solely with the user's organisation. Users should confirm their specific legal obligations with their own professional advisor.
