OFAC 50% rule
Name matching fails the 50% rule by design.
OFAC’s 50% rule requires treating any entity owned 50% or more by a designated person as itself sanctioned – even if not explicitly listed. This means your screening must traverse ownership structures, not just match names against the SDN list.
Sayari’s automated beneficial ownership traversal applies the 50% rule across multi-hop structures – surfacing exposure that a flat list comparison will always miss.
