FAQs

What is an OFAC check and why is it important for my business?

An OFAC check screens individuals, businesses, and organizations against the U.S. Treasury Department’s sanctions lists. This helps your business avoid transactions with prohibited or high-risk entities. Performing regular OFAC checks protects your organization from financial penalties, reputational damage, and potential legal consequences. 

How does EINsearch.com perform OFAC screenings?

EINsearch.com provides real-time access to the OFAC Sanctions List and other critical watchlists. Our platform allows you to run manual searches or integrate via API for automated monitoring. This ensures that every vendor, client, or contractor is quickly and efficiently screened against the Treasury Department government data. 

What makes EINsearch.com different from other OFAC screening providers?

EINsearch.com offers an all-in-one compliance solution. In addition to OFAC checks, our platform includes EIN Lookup and TIN Matching services. By combining these tools in one suite, you gain comprehensive verification capabilities, reduce manual work, and strengthen your compliance posture—all in one platform.

How often should my business run OFAC checks?

OFAC compliance is a continuous obligation. Any time you onboard a new vendor, client, or contractor, you should run an OFAC check. For ongoing relationships, regular monitoring is recommended to ensure no changes have occurred in an entity’s sanction status. EINsearch.com offers 24/7 access to keep you compliant year-round. 

Can I integrate EINsearch.com’s OFAC tool with my existing compliance workflow?

Yes. EINsearch.com provides flexible options: you can conduct manual checks directly from our user-friendly interface or use API integration to embed OFAC screenings seamlessly into your onboarding or compliance systems. This reduces time and labor costs while ensuring accuracy. 

What are the penalties for failing to comply with OFAC regulations?

Penalties for non-compliance can be severe, ranging from hefty civil fines to potential criminal charges depending on the violation. Beyond financial costs, companies may suffer reputational damage and operational disruption. EINsearch.com helps minimize these risks by delivering accurate, real-time OFAC checks as part of a broader compliance suite. 

What should I do if a vendor comes up positive on the OFAC watchlist?

If a vendor or client is flagged as a match on the OFAC Sanctions List, you must immediately stop any transactions with that party and conduct further due diligence to confirm the match. If confirmed, you are legally required to report the finding to OFAC. EINsearch.com’s tools help identify potential matches quickly so you can take the appropriate compliance steps without delay.
