Our Mission

We believe AML screening is broken: Intransparent pricing, underperforming technology that doesn't solve the actual pain points, and complicated contracts that don't address the flexibility customers need.


Our mission with sanctions.io is to provide a service that helps customers from regulated and unregulated industries solve their screening challenges with reliable data, smart technology, fair conditions, and transparent pricing. Our guiding principle is "Less, but better." focusing on simplicity and essentials.

Understanding Money Laundering Through Trade-in Diamonds
Diamonds may dazzle, but their allure hides a darker side: a prime tool for money laundering. With their high value, portability, and opaque trade networks, diamonds are exploited to conceal illicit funds, often through inflated prices, covert transactions, or as portable stores of wealth. Unscrupulous dealers and complex global trade routes fuel this hidden economy, undermining trust in the diamond market and global trade at large. Regulatory bodies like the FATF and FIUs are critical in combating these practices, ensuring transparency and protecting the integrity of this precious industry. Understanding this interplay is essential to safeguarding both commerce and ethics.
