#30: What do people use OpenSanctions for?

Category: Commercial · Last updated: · Permalink

It’s really up to you! Some of the use cases we have seen include:

  • Building know-your-customer and enhanced due diligence workflows for regulated industries and organizations that want to understand their own risk exposure.
  • Expanding anti-corruption and anti-money laundering investigations using open source intelligence and network analysis.
  • Complementing traditional offerings (Refinitiv, LexisNexis, DowJones) with higher-frequency checks.
