Capabilities
SmartSanction consolidates global watchlists, entity deduplication, and onboarding fraud protection into a single, developer-friendly API.
Trigram-based GIN-indexed search catches typos, transliterations, and partial names across 450+ global datasets. Powered by pg_trgm.
450+ continuously updated datasets: OFAC, UN, EU, HMT, and jurisdiction-specific watchlists, kept current by a scheduled refresh from authoritative sources.
Politically Exposed Person detection across national parliaments, government ministries, state-owned enterprises, and family/associate networks.
Screen companies for direct sanctions exposure. Identifies sanctioned directors, shell entities, and ownership structures via canonical golden entity graph.
Blocks fraudulent sign-ups in real-time: disposable email detection, random name identification, and keyboard-mash pattern recognition.
Cross-source canonicalization merges 450+ raw datasets into a single deduplicated entity graph using fingerprint normalization. One API call, one answer.
Architecture
Raw data from 450+ sources is ingested, fingerprint-normalized, and merged into a single canonical entity table. Searches always hit one deduplicated view, never a fragmented union query.
450+ raw source files ingested via SmartSanction CDN pipeline
