Frequently asked questions

OpenSanctions is both a resource for journalists and civil society who want to perform due diligence-style tasks (e.g. searching for persons of interest in a leak or open dataset), and for companies in the fintech/regtech space that need to perform sanctions screening and AML checks.

OpenSanctions is an open project, anyone is invited to work with the datasets, the code base used to generate it, or to contribute additional information.
