Sanctions · Own-list screening

Screen with clarity.Decide with evidence.

Screen people and companies against official sources. Review matches with a second signature where your policy requires it, and keep verifiable evidence of every completed screening.

One ARCA account. Your compliance workspace.

Official sources
  • OFAC SDN
  • OFAC non-SDN
  • UN
  • EU
  • UK
  • Australia
  • More sources on request
Checked with each publisher every 15 minutes.
  • 19 official lists in the catalogue; 6 active from day one and the rest on request.

  • Lists are checked with each publisher every 15 minutes, and all of them are renewed every night.

  • Batches in CSV, Excel or NACHA (ACH), and the API for one name or thousands.

  • A signed certificate for every screening and every batch, verifiable at a public address.

  • Panel and certificates in Spanish and English.

From search to a documented decision.

A clear process, built for compliance teams.

  1. 01

    Screen

    Search one name, upload a batch or call the API.

  2. 02

    Review together

    Your policy says which decisions wait for a second person: confirming a match, or clearing a strong one.

  3. 03

    Keep the evidence

    A signed certificate can be issued for every completed screening.

The platform

Everything your screening team needs.

From list updates to API integration, in one compliance workspace.

Official lists, current with each publisher

OFAC SDN and non-SDN, the UN, the EU, the UK and Australia, checked with each publisher every 15 minutes; more sources on request. Each release keeps its source address, the publisher's hash, the date and the record count.

Your own lists

The internal lists you keep — blocked customers, local watch lists — screened alongside the official ones, with their versions. PEP screening available on request.

Batch screening

Upload a CSV or Excel file of customers, a NACHA (ACH) file, or paste names. Follow the progress, export the results, compare with the previous run and keep one certificate for the whole batch.

Decisions under control

A queue by match strength, with assignment and SLA. A second person signs the decisions your policy marks, and accepted exceptions carry an expiry date.

Continuous monitoring

Keep your customers in a register. When a list publishes a new release, they are screened again against what changed and you get an alert.

API integration

Screen from your onboarding or payment flow. Scopes per capability (read, screen, subjects, lists) and an idempotency key, so a retry never screens twice.

What's new

New in ARCA Sanctions.

ACH payments in batches, a connection to the rest of the ARCA family, and false positives that stay gone.

  • New

    NACHA (ACH) batches

    Upload a NACHA file from Batches › New batch, just like a CSV or an Excel file: it is recognised by its content and there are no columns to map.

    • Every party of each payment is screened: receivers, receiving companies and originating companies.
    • In IAT payments, also the originator, the receiver, the originating and receiving banks and the correspondents, with their country.
    • The file is not kept: the batch and its certificate carry its SHA-256 digest, and it is archived only if you send it to ARCA Vault.
  • New

    ARCA Apps

    ARCA Sanctions connects to your organization's other products, without copying credentials.

    • ARCA Vault: certificates are archived on their own, you attach evidence to cases and hits, and you can screen a file already in Vault as a batch.
    • ARCA Filing: each CTR's persons go under monitoring in Sanctions and their result comes back to the CTR.
    • The organization's owner connects it in one click, if your organization has the other product.
  • New

    A false positive stays gone

    Deciding that a hit is a false positive creates the exception for that listed record and that subject.

    • It stops firing in the following screenings, including the next NACHA files: the same account is the same subject in every file.
    • Active at once, unless your policy asks for approval, and it expires when your policy says: 365 days by default, 180 when the risk is high.
    • If the list changes that record, the exception no longer holds; reopening the hit revokes it.

Evidence

Evidence you can verify.

Know what was screened, which releases were used and how each decision was made.

Source & release history

See the publisher, release date, record count and the data's provenance for every search.

Recorded decisions

The subject, the lists consulted, the policy, the verdict and who decided it — all in the certificate.

Public digest verification

Anyone holding the certificate can check its digest at the public verification address and see that it has not been altered.

Screening supports your team's decisions. ARCA is not affiliated with, endorsed or approved by any list publisher.
