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. On a hit, sourceName is the list name below, except for three lists that a hit names more briefly: UkSanctions (UK_Sanction), FSA (FSA_Warnings) and CKP (Finnish_CKP).

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.

`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.

Lists screened by the tic engine

A screening on the tic engine screens the lists below. A list that is also on the tables above has the same name, so sourceName, servicesQueried and serviceScope read the same on both engines. servicesQueried names only the lists that held entries when the screening ran.

SANCTION

`EU_GLOBAL`	The European Union’s consolidated list of persons, groups and entities subject to EU financial sanctions.
`UN_CONSOLIDATED`	The United Nations Security Council consolidated sanctions list.

`Swiss`	The Swiss sanctions list (SECO).
`Canada_GAC`	Canada’s Consolidated Autonomous Sanctions List.

PEP

List name Content

TIC_PEP Politically exposed persons of every country: heads of state and government, ministers, members of parliament, judges of the highest courts, central bank boards, heads of supreme audit institutions, ambassadors and heads of mission, senior military officers, the boards and management of state-owned companies, the boards of political parties, and the leadership of international organisations such as the EU institutions and the United Nations. Their family members and close associates are on the list too: screening a PEP’s spouse returns a hit for the spouse, with the PEP named under relationships. A PEP stays on the list for 18 months after leaving the function.

serviceScope also accepts the names of the default engine’s lists for the same lists: PEP_Edge and ACURIS_PEP_NN screen TIC_PEP, Instant_EU_Sanctions screens EU_GLOBAL and HMTreasury screens UK_Sanction. A name the tic engine holds no list for screens nothing.
