UK Sanctions List
The UK’s single source for sanctions designations since 28 January 2026.
Open authoritative sourceFinancial Crime Intelligence Hub · Official Sources
Start with the authority that issued the rule, list, guidance or action.
A curated gateway to primary and authoritative Financial Crime sources. FCRisk links directly to the issuing authorities rather than copying sanctions records, reproducing proprietary intelligence or presenting a substitute screening database.
Purpose
Authoritative-source navigation, not an aggregator.
Use this hub to reach current sanctions resources, AML/CTF standards, jurisdiction assessments, regulatory guidance and enforcement material at source. The collection is deliberately selective and focused on sources with clear institutional provenance.
How FCRisk labels sources
- Government / regulator: material published by a public authority or supervisor.
- Intergovernmental: standards or lists published by bodies such as FATF or the UN.
- Industry guidance: clearly identified where relevant; it is not presented as government-authored material.
Sanctions-list searches are not, by themselves, a complete sanctions assessment.
Restrictions may apply beyond a directly listed name, including through applicable ownership or control rules. Users should consult the relevant legislation and official guidance and undertake appropriate due diligence.

Scope and reliance
This hub is a research and navigation aid. It is not legal advice, a sanctions-screening service, a comprehensive list of applicable obligations, or a substitute for a regulated organisation’s own risk assessment, due diligence and compliance controls.
Next intelligence layer
From official sources to evidence-linked Financial Crime intelligence.
The second Hub layer is now the Financial Crime Control Failure Library: selected enforcement evidence mapped from official finding through failure, root cause, control, data, technology and remediation.
Now available
Financial Crime Enforcement Intelligence asks what regulatory action tells us about repeatable control failure — without becoming a fines ticker.
