About This List
OFSI sanctions for Russia
Detailed Information
<p><strong>UK OFSI Sanctions List</strong> is maintained by the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation, part of HM Treasury. Following Brexit, the UK established its own autonomous sanctions regime under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (SAMLA), which came fully into force on 31 December 2020. The list contains all persons and entities designated under UK financial sanctions, including those subject to asset freezes.</p>
<p>OFSI is responsible for civil enforcement of financial sanctions and issuing licences for otherwise prohibited activities. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) makes decisions about sanctions designations, while HM Treasury leads on counter-terrorism designations. Financial institutions and businesses must screen against this list and report any asset holdings of designated persons.</p>
<p><strong>Important:</strong> From January 2026, the UK will move to a single UK Sanctions List (UKSL), and the OFSI Consolidated List will close.
