Screen every regime-linked party — not just OFAC's list
QvaPay Sentinel is a public sanctions-screening API — live at sdn.qvapay.com — that checks names, entities, and crypto wallets against OFAC's SDN list. And it goes past what OFAC requires: it adds its own Cuban-regime data pools Washington has never designated, so a regime-linked party gets caught before it ever lands on a sanctions list.
Why screening isn't optional
OFAC sanctions are strict-liability: a single payment to a blocked party is a violation even if you never knew. The duty covers names, entities, and crypto addresses, and reaches any company owned ≥50% by a blocked party (the 50% rule). In Cuba the real exposure is regime nexus — and many regime operators are on no OFAC list yet.
What OFAC requires you to screen
How QvaPay goes beyond OFAC
Four data pools in one call. OFAC is the floor; the three regime pools are the edge — they catch affiliates OFAC hasn't listed yet.
Name screening is fuzzy — it tolerates typos, word order, accents and transliterations (search “lazaruz grupo,” find Lazarus Group). Crypto matching is exact. Everything updates daily.
“Yeah, added two more data pools, the PCC-ANPP members. Cero trigger so far but this is a really good product right now.”
Why Sentinel is the API to use
- ✓ Broader coverage than OFAC alone: sanctions + three regime pools in one call.
- ✓ Names, entities and crypto addresses — all three, not just names.
- ✓ Fuzzy matching that survives typos, accents and transliterations.
- ✓ Updated daily; built by a Cuban team that knows the terrain.
Screen every blocked party, entity and crypto address — at and beyond OFAC.
