A sanction is a penalty designed to restrict or ban certain individuals from financial trading and is issued by a government or other international organisation.



Employers can request that we carry out a sanction or watchlist check to verify whether the prospective employee has been or is a subject to legal sanctions imposed by regulatory institutions due to violating laws and regulations.


A sanction or watchlist check involves deep research through several government and law enforcement sanction databases that can identify individuals, groups, or companies prohibited from certain activities.
