Who it suits
Best for
Where sanctions.io fits, and what to plan for.
Honest notes on the trade-offs, each with a way to cover the gap inside a Zenoo flow.
- Lower-volume sanctions screening where teams have the engineering capacity to integrate a plain API
- Documentation depth. Some reports suggest the documentation is thin on edge cases such as pagination and error handling. Running it inside a Zenoo flow lets you keep a fallback screening provider so a gap in one connector does not stall onboarding.
- Integration effort. Some developers report extra work building around the API and its SDKs. Zenoo builds and maintains the connector for you, which removes most of that lift.
Open the customer's case
What your team sees
The sanctions.io result, beside everything else.
The result sits with screening and review on one case, so nobody checks a second tool to see the whole customer.
Hands it to your team
Verification is the first step. Compliance Hub handles the rest.
Once a customer is verified, screening and review happen in Compliance Hub. A possible PEP match lands in your team inbox with the evidence and the full history beside it. Zenoo suggests, your team decides.
