Note on OFAC Counts: OFAC entity counts are aggregated from multiple programs. Some entities may appear on more than one OFAC list (e.g., both SDN and SSI). The counts shown reflect all entities on each program, so totals may include overlapping entities.

High Priority - Primary Sanctions

Blocking/freezing measures within primary jurisdiction. Potential secondary sanctions risk for non-primary jurisdiction entities. Actual enforcement depends on the financial institution's compliance policy and correspondent banking relationships.

Medium Priority - Sectoral Sanctions

Restrictions on specific sectors or activities rather than full blocking. Enhanced due diligence recommended. Impact varies by jurisdiction and transaction type.

Low Priority - Advisory Lists

Advisory or lower-priority lists. May be relevant for enhanced due diligence depending on your institution's risk appetite and policies.

Informational - Non-Sanctions Data

Informational databases only - not sanctions or stop-lists. Included for comprehensive screening (e.g., Interpol Red Notices, national watchlists). A match does not indicate sanctions but may warrant further investigation.

Important Jurisdictional Note

Sanctions applicability depends on your institution's jurisdiction, correspondent banking relationships, and internal compliance policies. For example, lists maintained by specific countries (such as Rosfinmonitoring) are primarily enforced within that country's jurisdiction but may affect transactions routed through correspondent banks in that jurisdiction. Always consult with qualified legal and compliance professionals to determine which lists are relevant to your specific situation.
