Global Office of Foreign Assets Control & Security’s Denied Persons

Per the Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regulations, all entities within the United States, U.S. incorporated entities, U.S. citizens, and permanent resident aliens are required to comply with OFAC regulations. This tool cross-references a provided name against the OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Block Persons watch list and the Denied Persons List of the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).

This keeps your company in compliance with regulations of the Patriot Act of 2001 that require all organizations and entities in the United States to protect the country from those on the OFAC and BIS lists.
