Who is subject to financial sanctions in the UK?

The Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) publishes a list of all those subject to financial sanctions imposed by the UK which it keeps updated.

The details of those subject to sanctions are also categorised and available in specific regime lists.

To receive an email alerting you to any changes to the list, you can subscribe to our e-alert.

Searching the list

You can search for financial sanctions targets who are subject to an asset freeze or financial restrictions under the Russia regulations by using the OFSI Consolidated List Search. Enter the details that you want to find results for into the search box. This could be any of the details listed below under 'Using the list'. You can also specify in your search:

• which regime the designated person is listed under,
• if they are an individual or an entity, and;
• whether they are subject to an asset freeze or specific capital market restrictions.

To adjust the type of results you see, you can also:

• group your results by group ID - this means that you can view all aliases and related entries in one place, and;
• turn on fuzzy search and increase the fuzzy distance - this will find accurate results relating to your search and increase the chances of finding the correct match, even where your search term is misspelt or missing information.

The information on the search database is updated alongside the Consolidated List. Use of the search function does not remove your obligation to undertake appropriate due diligence in respect of financial sanctions targets.
