What is an OFAC Alert?
OFAC Screen is a service that alerts the user that a consumer's personal information possibly matches a subject on a list of individuals and entities that are prohibited by the U.S. Treasury from doing business in or with the United States. When the OFAC service is requested and a consumer's personal information matches an entry on the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, an OFAC alert is returned. The user is advised to perform due diligence and verify whether the consumer is the individual on the U.S. Treasury's list. A user is contractually prohibited from treating the alert as a reason for declination or other adverse action.
