For creator platforms and studios paying performers around the world

Paying a performer abroad? Check the list first.

Interdict screens every performer or company a platform pays against the Treasury’s SDN list — downloaded by you, matched on your own machine, with near-spellings, surname-first and accents still caught — flags anyone in a comprehensively sanctioned place, puts a confirmed match on the 10-business-day reporting clock, and keeps every check for ten years.

The problem

Every U.S. company must comply.

OFAC says all U.S. persons, companies included, must not deal with anyone on its sanctions list or in a comprehensively sanctioned place, strongly encourages screening, and violations bring civil and sometimes criminal penalties. A platform paying thousands of performers abroad checks each one before the first payout and again whenever the list changes.

All U.S. companies

must comply with OFAC sanctions, and screening is strongly encouraged.

OFAC →

10 years

the records of every check are kept, since March 2025.

10 business days

to report blocked property to OFAC after a confirmed match.

Will not clear a possible match without a reason.

A name match is only possible until a person reviews it and writes down what was compared — date of birth, nationality, address, ID numbers. Clearing without a note is refused. A payee in a sanctioned place is a stop. A confirmed match is blocked and its report put on a clock. A new list re-screens everyone; a hit cleared as not them stays cleared.

How it works

The list, payees, the log

Load the list

Download sdn.csv free from the Treasury’s Sanctions List Service, paste it in, and give its date. Interdict asks OFAC nothing.

Screen every payee

Each performer or company, their country and the last screening. One button screens everyone on a new list.

Keep the log

Every check, the list it ran against, and the date it may be thrown away. Print the file.

What it will never do

It checks the names. It blocks nothing itself.

Interdict tells you which payouts to hold and which reports are due. Your payout system does the holding.

No outside lookups.The list is matched on your own machine.

No payout control.You hold the payout; Interdict says which.

It is not a lawyer.Not legal advice.

It never touches a payment.The subscription is for software.

Checkout is our own bitcoin server, not a card processor — nobody we had to apply to and nobody who can close the account. The button takes you straight to it. Give your email address there — that is where your key is sent.

Questions

The ones we actually get asked

Where does the list come from?

You download sdn.csv free from the Treasury’s Sanctions List Service and paste it in. Interdict never contacts OFAC.

Does a name match mean we cannot pay?

Not yet. It is possible until a person compares date of birth, nationality, address and ID numbers and writes down what they found.

What happens on a new list?

One button re-screens everyone. A hit already reviewed as not them stays cleared; a new entry does not.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is the log you wish you had kept.

What do I actually get when I pay?

The demo on this page is the whole program, running on invented records. Paying gets you a licence key — one line of text, emailed to the address you give at checkout within two working days. Paste it into the program and from then on it keeps your own records. Until then, nothing you type into it is kept.

The key is checked inside the page, on your own machine. It never calls us, so there is still no account and nothing about your business goes anywhere. If you ever stop paying, your records stay exactly where they are, read-only, and Export still hands you every one of them.

Open the demo before the next payout run

The demo’s list is three invented entries. A performer matching a list name is still being paid, one is in Crimea, one was never screened, a confirmed match is not yet reported, and one was screened on an older list.
