Official sanctions feeds

13 lists, snapshotted twice a day

Each feed is fetched from the publisher at 09:00 and 21:00 UTC and stored with a version tag. The versions form part of every screening's evidence signature, so a result records which list versions it was checked against.

  • OFAC SDN
  • OFAC Consolidated
  • UN Consolidated
  • UK FCDO
  • EU Consolidated
  • Australia DFAT
  • BIS Entity List
  • World Bank Debarment
  • Canada SEMA
  • Switzerland SECO
  • New Zealand Russia sanctions
  • New Zealand designated terrorists
  • France DGT

National terror lists

Parsed from the source file, daily at 04:30 UTC

These lists are not carried by the usual aggregators. AdverseMe fetches the publisher's own Excel or PDF, parses it, normalises Arabic and Latin names, and diffs each version against the last.
