Sanctions and wallet screening for crypto and digital assets
Screen wallet addresses and entities against sanctions data — with source-backed results that support your review, not an automated decision.
Entity and wallet screening in one place
Digital-asset businesses can face sanctions exposure at two levels: the entity — such as a user or counterparty — and the wallet address. OFAC publishes sanctions-compliance guidance specifically for the virtual-currency industry and includes certain virtual-currency addresses in sanctions data. ClearSanction brings entity and wallet screening into one place.
What needs to be screened or reviewed
- Wallet addresses against OFAC SDN sanctioned wallet listings.
- Individuals and organisations against sanctions and PEP data.

Review and evidence
A returned record is a Potential Match for review. ClearSanction does not block or approve on your behalf.
Match Score indicates the strength of identity correspondence and can help inform analyst review. Case Management and Audit Reports help you retain evidence of what was screened and how it was reviewed.
