Sanctions Clear

About Sanctions Clear

Sanctions Clear is built by Suite Utils Limited, a UK company that makes add-ons for accounting and ERP systems.

We built it because small businesses get asked the same question by banks, auditors and large customers: how do you check who you pay and who you sell to? Most answer it with a manual search on a government website, once, with no record. Enterprise screening tools start at thousands a year and live outside the accounting system.

Sanctions Clear runs the check from inside QuickBooks Online and Xero, repeats it whenever a contact changes or a new bill comes in, and keeps the record.

Where the lists come from

We download each list from the authority that publishes it: OFAC, UK, EU and UN every 6 hours, the others daily. We don't buy lists from a reseller. Every file we download is archived, so each certificate can name the exact version a contact was checked against.
