Sanctions screening has become a distinct compliance discipline that requires auditable processes.

ACTAN SanctionsCheck was built for regulated financial intermediaries in Switzerland that need sanctions screening to be traceable, documented, and operationally efficient. The solution helps you screen relevant client data against current sanctions lists, review potential matches in a structured way, and maintain screening records for internal controls, supervisory organisations, or audits. The final regulatory assessment remains part of your own responsibility and organisational setup.

ACTAN SanctionsCheck is designed in a way that does not structurally resemble a classic, full outsourcing of your screening process. It serves as a tool for your own screening and documentation workflow. That said, the final regulatory classification always depends on your specific setup, internal processes, and contractual framework.

Submitted screening files are processed for the purpose of the screening run and are not permanently stored as customer files. For operations, traceability, and contract administration, technical metadata, protocol information, and system logs may be processed. The architecture is designed to minimise data storage and to separate screening content from technical evidence.

ACTAN SanctionsCheck screens against relevant sanctions lists such as SECO and OFAC. New list versions are incorporated on an ongoing basis so screenings are performed on a current basis. The screening report documents which list basis was used for each screening run.

You upload your file as an Excel or CSV file, or trigger screenings automatically as part of an automated workflow. The solution processes the names, presents potential matches in a structured format, and generates a screening report. The duration depends on the number of names and the number of potential hits. In practice, screenings are typically completed within a few minutes.

No system integration is required. ACTAN SanctionsCheck can be used without a CRM or core banking integration. For many organisations, a structured Excel or CSV export is sufficient. If you want to automate your workflow further later on, integrated and API-based setups are also possible.

You receive a screening report containing the key evidence of the screening run, including timestamp, list basis, screening scope, and hit overview. This gives you a traceable basis for internal controls, supervisory reviews, audits, and compliance documentation.

When using the Client Agent, your client base can be monitored at regular intervals. As soon as a relevant change in the underlying sanctions lists is detected, a new screening can be triggered automatically. Notifications by email or SMS can also be configured.
