OFAC sanction list search (also referred to as OFAC screening, OFAC checking, OFAC search, and OFAC scrubbing) is the process of identifying whether or not any entity or party you are engaged in a financial transaction with can be found on watch lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), a division of U.S. Department of the Treasury. This helps organizations ensure they do not do business with a sanctioned entity, individual, or business.

OFAC sanctions list searches can also extend to identifying sanctions and embargoes placed on nations and geographic and political jurisdictions, further allowing organizations to be confident they are not engaging in transactions with parties facing trade restrictions.
