Sanctions lists

When you opt in for the sanctions lists feature, you configure which sanctions lists need to participate in checks. Currently, the following lists are available:

  • OFAC: Office of Foreign Assets Control, US
  • SECO: State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, Switzerland
  • HMT: UK Treasury
  • METI: Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan
  • DFAT: Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australia
  • EU: European Union
  • UN: United Nations
  • PEP: Politically exposed persons

Transaction page

By default, if a person is found on one or more of the sanctions lists, the transaction is marked accordingly.

Write rules

If the customer was found on one or more of the sanctions lists, we recommend you always review these transactions manually. However, if the outcome of a check produces an exact name match, you can write a rule that blocks such transactions. Use the attribute cust_on_sanctions_list for this purpose. The condition that defines this could look like this:

Decline the transaction if cust_on_sanctions_list = true

We recommend you manually review transactions where a sanctions lists check resulted in error or timeout. Use these values in the attribute cust_on_sanctions_list to create a specific condition:

Send the transaction for manual review if cust_on_sanctions_list = error or timeout

Webhook notifications

Fraugster uses webhooks to notify your application when an event happens in your Fraugster account. If you review a transaction manually and give it a specific decision in the Dashboard, you can receive this information via a webhook. Set up your webhook endpoint with the help of this guide.
