Sanctions AgentEU sanctions · Danish PEP

Customer, vendor & partner screening

Screen new customers against the EU sanctions list, right from the AI agent you already use.

If your business signs new customers, vendors or partners, you're likely responsible for checking they aren't sanctioned. Most small businesses don't know it yet, and the tools built for this are priced for banks.

Stop. This needs a human compliance decision before you proceed.

Illustration: your agent gives you these facts in its answer. Keep them with the customer file as evidence you checked.
EU sanctions bind “EU nationals, companies, and anyone conducting business within the EU”, not only banks. European Commission, EU Sanctions Compliance Helpdesk: primer for SMEs

Why this matters

When you onboard a new counterparty, responsibility for not doing business with someone on the list sits with your business. Enforcement and penalties are set nationally and vary by country, so read the source rather than taking our word for it.

The alternative today is an enterprise compliance platform you don't need, or a spreadsheet you're not sure you're doing right.

How it works

No dashboard. You ask, your agent checks, you decide.

  1. 01

    Connect once

    Paste one address into Claude, ChatGPT or Le Chat and confirm your email with a 6-digit code. That's the whole account.

  2. 02

    Ask in plain words

    “Check Acme Trading LLC before we sign.” Your agent runs the check against the current list and answers in the same conversation.

  3. 03

    Review and keep the record

    Every result has a confidence score, a plain recommendation and the list's date. It's a screening aid, not a verdict: the decision stays with you.

Real results

Enhanced due diligence, not rejection. Being a PEP isn't wrongdoing. It means more scrutiny, senior sign-off and ongoing monitoring.

Coverage

Two registers, two different meanings.

Lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, bookkeepers and art dealers must also screen for politically exposed persons under Danish AML law, on top of sanctions.

Questions

Before you connect

Is checking the sanctions list actually a legal requirement?

Generally, yes. EU sanctions regulations bind “EU nationals, companies, and anyone conducting business within the EU,” not only financial institutions, and responsibility for compliance sits with the business itself. That's stated by the European Commission's EU Sanctions Compliance Helpdesk in its primer for SMEs. Enforcement and penalties are set nationally and vary by country, so it's worth reading directly rather than taking our summary of it.

Is this a complete compliance solution?

No. Sanctions coverage is the EU consolidated financial sanctions list only, not OFAC, UN or UK HMT. PEP coverage is Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland only. Every result is a candidate for human review, not a cleared or rejected verdict. Treat it as a first-pass screening aid, not a system of record.

Why isn't there a search box on this page?

On purpose. Checks run through your own AI agent, not through this website, so the site doesn't log or rate-limit arbitrary lookups. The examples above are real output; connect your agent to check your own names.

Do I need to talk to anyone to get started?

No. Add the address, confirm your email when your agent prompts you, and you're in. You'd only hear from us if you ask about paid tiers or need more than the free monthly limit.

How current are the lists?

Both are checked daily. Every result includes when the list was last refreshed, so you can see exactly how current the answer is.
