Sanctions breaches are among the most serious failures a bank can suffer, and the lists change daily. A sanctions program must cover customers, payments, trade and correspondents, and work in real time.

We design or review your program across UN, local, OFAC and EU regimes: the sanctions risk assessment, screening coverage and quality, controls in trade finance and correspondent banking, escalation and decision-making, and reporting to the authorities.

We also train the people who make the first decision on a potential match, because that is where most failures begin.
