What these numbers mean
Counts describe this source’s current available records, before any name search. Records can overlap within and across lists. They are not counts of unique entities.
Publicly browsable records are the portion available in the public directory. A record’s presence does not by itself establish an active sanction.
Organizations include companies and other bodies. Other / unspecified means the source record has no more specific supported type.
What this source covers
The Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List identifies parties designated under OFAC programs. The adapter preserves list identity, aliases, program references, and supported person, organization, vessel, and aircraft fields.
How to interpret this source
A name match requires identity review. This list does not provide a complete beneficial ownership graph, and an unlisted organization can still require ownership analysis. Consult the original program and authority references for the proposed activity.
