Answer: Marketplace agents screen counterparties against the OFAC SDN list (19,218 names, 947 crypto wallets, 16 embargoed jurisdictions) via a single API call before every payment. A "clean": true response means proceed; "clean": false means halt. The check runs in under 100ms and the free tier covers 5 checks/day with no API key.

Why do Marketplace agents need OFAC sanctions screening?

Marketplace agents that match buyers and sellers globally have the hardest screening problem: counterparties are strangers, often in different jurisdictions, transacting at machine speed. agentmail screens both sides of every match against OFAC names, wallets, and countries before escrow releases.

A marketplace that lets a sanctioned seller cash out - or a buyer in an embargoed region pay - is on the hook for facilitation. Embedding sanctions checks in the match-and-release flow turns that risk into an automatic decline.
