Screening lists

Screening runs against the sanctions and PEP lists enabled for your account. summary.servicesQueried in every search response shows exactly which lists were used. Use the same spelling when restricting a call with serviceScope. serviceScope accepts a list group, a single list name, or a comma-separated combination:

{ "serviceScope": "SANCTION" }
{ "serviceScope": "PEP_Edge" }
{ "serviceScope": "SANCTION, PEP_Edge" }

Each list belongs to one of two groups, returned as listType on every hit.

Adverse media and company register lists (the INFO group) are not screened. They are left out of every screening, also when named in serviceScope; a serviceScope naming nothing else is rejected with 400 and code invalid_service_scope.

SANCTION

Sanctions designations by governments and international bodies, plus consolidated commercial compilations.

List name	Content
`EU_GLOBAL`	European Union consolidated list of persons, groups and entities subject to EU financial sanctions, maintained by the European Commission.
`Instant_EU_Sanctions`	The same EU designations taken directly from the Official Journal, available without the delay of the consolidated list.
`UN_CONSOLIDATED`	United Nations Security Council consolidated sanctions list.
`OFAC`	US Treasury Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list.
`OFAC_CS`	US Treasury consolidated non-SDN sanctions lists. OFAC screening normally includes both `OFAC` and `OFAC_CS`.
`UK_Sanction`	The UK Sanctions List published by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. From 28 January 2026 the only source of UK designations.
`HMTreasury`	UK OFSI consolidated list of asset freeze targets. Being retired in favour of `UK_Sanction`.
`Swiss`	Swiss sanctions list.
`Finnish_CKP`	Finnish police list of frozen assets.
`BelgianFPSF`	Belgian national financial sanctions list.
`NetherlandsNTS`	Netherlands national terrorism sanctions list.
`FSA_Warnings`	Warning lists from financial supervisory authorities about firms operating without authorisation. A warning list rather than a sanctions list, grouped here for screening purposes.

PEP

Politically exposed persons, their family members and close associates. Hits carry roles, and often relationships and tier.

List name	Content
`PEP_Edge`	PEP list with identity numbers. Entries may carry a country prefix on the identity number, such as a two-letter country code followed by the number.
`ACURIS_PEP_NN`	Global PEP list, with seniority tiers.

Customer-specific lists can be added to an account and appear under whichever group they are configured as. Contact support to have a list enabled or added.
