Know who you're doing business with — before you do business with them.
The defensible screening workflow — screen once, keep the timestamped audit trail, stay covered.
Screening results will appear here. Try a sample above — e.g. or . Every match includes source, confidence score, and a direct link to the official primary record.
Screen. Monitor. Defend.
A one-time lookup isn't compliance. Compliance is a continuing obligation with a paper trail. Kleerance covers all three parts of the workflow so screening stops being a scramble every time an auditor asks.
- 01ScreenCheck any person or company in seconds.
Fuzzy match across all ten government watchlists at once — OFAC, BIS, State, SAM.gov, UN, EU, UK — with a 0–100 confidence score and a primary-source link on every candidate.
- 02MonitorSave the counterparties that matter.
Add subjects to a monitoring list so a vendor you cleared today doesn't quietly become a risk tomorrow. Automated re-screening & alerting on Growth+ is on the roadmap; today the list lets you rescreen a saved subject in one click.
- 03DefendProve you did the work.
Every signed-in search is permanently stored with the exact query, filters, full result set, source-list codes, and a UTC timestamp. When an auditor asks how you cleared a counterparty, you show them the record.
What a live screening actually returns.
This is real output from the same engine that powers the search box above — five matches for "Wagner" across UK-HMT, EU-CONS, OFAC-SDN, and BIS Entity List, each with the source list, confidence score, and a direct link back to the government primary source.
Free government lookups are fine — for a one-off check.
OFAC's Sanctions Search, the UK's OFSI consolidated list search, the EU's Financial Sanctions file, and the UN Consolidated List are real, free, and useful. If you screen one name a quarter, they're enough. If screening is part of your operating rhythm — onboarding vendors, KYB, payments — the free tools stop scaling: you're jumping between six websites, re-typing the same name, and keeping the "audit trail" in a spreadsheet nobody trusts.
Kleerance never replaces primary sources — every match links back to the official government register. It removes the tab-juggling and the "how do I prove I did this?" problem that the free tools weren't built to solve.
Ten government watchlists, one normalized schema.
Ten primary-source lists across seven publishing authorities (US Treasury OFAC, US Commerce BIS, US State Department, GSA / SAM.gov, UN Security Council, European Union, and UK FCDO). Every match is traceable back to its source list and external ID.
Built around the compliance officer's actual workflow.
Token reorder, transliteration, alias and partial-match handling tuned for sanctions data. Every match returns a 0–100 similarity score.
Every search is timestamped and stored with the exact query, filters, and full result set. Searchable and exportable at any time from your account history.
Every result row links back to the official register so you can verify before acting — the way OFAC, BIS, and UN require.
One consistent schema across every list we ingest — same fields, same match logic, whether the record originates at OFAC, BIS, UN, EU, or UK HMT.
Simple tiers that scale with your screening volume.
Every tier — including the free plan — gets access to all ten indexed watchlists and the full timestamped audit trail. Higher tiers add volume, API access, and larger monitoring lists.

What compliance teams ask before adopting Kleerance.
Which watchlists does Kleerance cover?
Ten government primary-source lists across seven publishing authorities: OFAC SDN, OFAC Consolidated (US Treasury), BIS Denied Persons and BIS Entity List (US Commerce), State ITAR Debarred and State Nonproliferation (US State Department), SAM.gov Exclusions (US GSA), UN Security Council Consolidated, EU Consolidated (CFSP), and the UK Sanctions List (UK FCDO / HMT).
How often are the lists updated?
We poll each source on its own schedule and re-ingest whenever the authority publishes. The header and homepage both display the real 'last checked' timestamp for the most recently-updated source. We never claim real-time data — the timestamp shown is literally the last successful ingestion, not a marketing figure.
How does fuzzy name matching work and how do I read the confidence score?
Every screening returns a 0–100 similarity score per candidate, computed with token reordering, transliteration handling, alias resolution, and partial-match tolerance tuned for sanctions data. Scores at or above 70 are flagged as watchlist matches; scores between 40 and 69 are surfaced as 'review recommended'; below 40 they are typically noise. The score is never a clearance — you still verify the record against the primary source.
What audit trail do I get?
Every search you run while signed in is permanently stored with the exact query, filters, full result set (every candidate with its source list, external ID, confidence score, and primary-source link), and a UTC timestamp. That timestamped, source-linked history is your audit trail — the record you show an auditor to prove you screened, when, and against what data. Downloadable single-page PDF Verification Reports for individual searches are on the roadmap for paid plans and are not live yet.
How are false positives reviewed and dismissed?
Every search is stored in your audit log with the full result set. Reviewers can annotate a candidate as a false positive with a reason; the annotation is timestamped and preserved alongside the original screening so future reviewers see the decision and its rationale rather than re-litigating the same match.
Is Kleerance a consumer report? (FCRA)
No. Kleerance screens against publicly-published government sanctions and restricted-party lists for compliance, AML, and trade purposes. It is not a consumer reporting agency and Kleerance output must not be used to make employment, credit, insurance, tenancy, or other FCRA-regulated decisions about individuals.
Screen your first counterparty in under five seconds.
