Sanctions and PEP screening
your AML team runs for free.
Screen any individual against global sanctions, politically exposed persons and enforcement lists, with full source provenance on every hit. It is the same data that powers Omniguard. Search here for free, or integrate it with a free Omniguard API key.
Every hit shows its source list and a match confidence. Screening is free and unmetered here. To wire it into onboarding, Omniguard gives you a key and 100 screens a day.
What we screen
2.5 million screenable people and entities, drawn from 113 official lists across 246 countries and territories. Every major sanctions regime, a politically exposed persons layer deep enough to include relatives and close associates, and the enforcement registers most vendors skip. Refreshed daily. Of that total, 2.24 million are sanctions, PEP and enforcement records; the remaining 287,500 are company reference identifiers, which resolve who an entity is and never flag it.

Identity resolution, not an adverse list. Used to confirm who a company is, never to flag it.
- GLEIF legal entity identifiers287,500
Counts are live figures from the screening database. Legal-entity reference data (GLEIF company registry) is held separately and excluded from screening, so an ordinary company never surfaces as a risk hit.
Built for AML, CFT and compliance
A list is only useful where the risk is. Nemesis runs the same sanctions, PEP and enforcement data across the whole compliance lifecycle, with the source provenance and match evidence an examiner expects, so screening is not a checkbox but a defensible control.
Screen at account opening
Check every new customer, beneficial owner and counterparty against sanctions, PEP and enforcement lists before you open the relationship. PEP hits route to enhanced due diligence instead of a silent pass.
Re-screen as the lists move
Designations change daily. Nemesis refreshes the lists and lets you re-screen your book, so a customer who is newly sanctioned is caught the day they are listed, not at their next periodic review.
Stop value reaching a bad party
Through Omniguard, screen the counterparty on every payment in real time and decline or hold a transfer to a sanctioned or high-risk party before the money moves. Screening and scoring on one call.
Evidence a regulator accepts
Every hit carries its source list, program and match confidence, a clean audit trail for your MLRO and examiners. Confirmed cases feed goAML-format STR / SAR filing through Omniguard.
Integrate it in minutes
The public search needs no account. To screen from your own systems, create an Omniguard account and generate a key. Screening is free on every plan, including the free tier.
Free screening, real API
Create an account, land in Omniguard, and mint a key. You get 100 screens a day and see every call in your verification log, exactly like a paying customer. Need KYC, transaction scoring or more volume, upgrade the same key.
