Sanctions Checker | Financial Sanctions Check & Screening

What is Sanctions Checker?

The sanctions search tool checks against government publications across the UK and European Union for specially designated nationals, politically exposed persons and high-risk-person lists. The tool will reveal global, European and UK financial sanctions alerts.

Sanctions Checker is a powerful, easy-to-use system that significantly reduces the time and effort to perform checks against the listed targets. Its unique combination of capabilities offers an effective and pragmatic solution to your requirements.

Financial sanctions prohibit an organisation from carrying out transactions with a listed individual or organisation. Financial sanctions apply to all transactions; there is no minimum monetary limit. Every organisation must perform searches against the lists applicable to their business to ensure clients, be they individuals or companies, are not on any government or international lists.

Financial sanctions are restrictions put in place by the UK government or multilateral organisations and apply to most companies and industries, even if the organisation is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Financial institutions should have proportionate systems and controls in place to reduce the risk of breaching financial sanctions. Deficiencies in the screening process or not having a detection system in place have led to sizeable fines.

Sanctions Checker helps you meet your compliance by:

Automatically creating reports for every search
Providing a full audit trail of all searches conducted
Creating hard evidence of all compliance for the necessary authorities.

Award Winning Software Solution

Northdoor was named a finalist in the 2018 European IT and Software Excellence Awards for our Sanctions Checker implementation with Morning Data.

The UK plays a prominent role in the global economy and regulators need to ensure that UK companies are not knowingly or unknowingly helping to finance criminal or terrorist activities. Morning Data’s clients are insurers, who are put under the spotlight of some of the most rigorous financial regulations in the world, so it is vital that the insurance software solutions they provide to their clients support their regulatory compliance and provide a financial sanction check.
