OpenSanctions is a financial crime data provider. They build and maintain an international database of persons and companies of political, criminal, or economic interest. They combine sanctions lists, lists of politically exposed persons, and other public-interest information from hundreds of sources into a single, structured, continuously updated dataset.
Their data is a component that sits deep in the technology stack of the financial services industry. Researchers and journalists rely on it to track political conflicts and cross-border financial crime.
