Step 1
Send the customer's details
Full name and date of birth are the minimum. The data can be sent in an API request or taken from a passport recognised in a KYC session, with no manual entry.
Screening customers against the Rosfinmonitoring watchlists
We match the customer against the list of terrorists and extremists during onboarding — by full name and date of birth, in seconds. We separate out namesakes, show delisted entries in a field of their own and return the result as JSON — ready for a compliance decision.

Which lists have to be checked under 115‑FZ
The list of terrorists and extremists
The national Rosfinmonitoring list — we check every customer
The list holds more than 23,000 individuals and around 900 organisations, and 250–350 people are added every month. NeuroVision matches the customer's full name and date of birth against it and returns delisted entries separately.
Freezing decisions of the Interagency Commission
People whose funds the Interagency Commission has decided to freeze
The Interagency Commission for Countering the Financing of Terrorism issues decisions to freeze the funds of specific people. They must be carried out within the same deadlines as the list. Screening against the Commission's decisions is available on request.
UN Security Council lists
Terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
The lists are drawn up under UN Security Council resolutions, and Rosfinmonitoring distributes them through its online accounts. NeuroVision matches customers against the UN lists as part of international sanctions screening.
Delisted entries
Removed from the list — the freeze must be lifted
If a person has been removed from the list, the measures must be cancelled no later than the next working day. The service returns such entries in a field of their own: a customer will not be blocked over an outdated record.
Not to be confused with US, EU and UK sanctions
A different check for a different purpose
The OFAC, EU and UK lists are not part of the 115‑FZ requirements. They are checked for work with foreign counterparties — that is NeuroVision's international sanctions screening, priced separately.
115‑FZ
115‑FZ, art. 7, 7.4 and 7.5
What to do on a match: the 115‑FZ deadlines
- Freeze the funds — the national list and the Commission's decisions
- Freeze the funds — the UN lists
- Report the freeze to Rosfinmonitoring
- Lift the freeze if the person has been removed from the list
- A partial match is not a freeze, but it is a reason to review the transaction
- Check the customer when taking them on
- Match the entire customer base against the lists
- Report the results of the matching to Rosfinmonitoring
- Follow updates to the list in your online account
- NeuroVision automates the customer check. Freezing funds and reporting to Rosfinmonitoring remain the responsibility of your compliance team.
How screening against the list of terrorists and extremists works
Three steps from the customer's details to a response that compliance can file with the customer's record straight away.
Step 2
The service matches the customer against the list
The full name and date of birth are compared with the current version of the list, including entries that have been removed from it.
Step 3
Get a detailed response
The response contains the verdict, the matching entries with full name, date and place of birth, delisted entries separately, and a «needs clarification» flag where there was not enough data.

Why automate matching against the lists
-
Seconds instead of a manual search
There is no need to look the customer up in an export from the online account: the check runs automatically at every onboarding.
-
Namesakes are not blocked
A match counts only when both the full name and the date of birth agree. Namesakes pass onboarding without manual review.
-
Delisted entries are visible
If a person has been removed from the list, the response says so. A customer will not be blocked over an outdated record.
-
In the same onboarding flow as KYC
The passport is recognised, the face is matched — and the list check follows immediately. No separate data entry is needed.
-
A result ready for the regulator
The response carries the date, the time and the entry's details. They can be filed with the customer's record and shown during an inspection.
-
A price with no subscription
5 ₽ per check. You pay only for the checks performed.

Frequent questions about screening against the lists
The lists, the deadlines, the fines and namesakes — briefly on what matters.
Send the customer's full name and date of birth to the NeuroVision API, or launch the check from a KYC session. The service matches the data against the list of terrorists and extremists and returns one of three answers: a match, clear, or «needs clarification».
Against the list of people involved in extremism or terrorism, the Interagency Commission's freezing decisions and the UN Security Council lists. US and EU sanctions are not part of the 115‑FZ requirements.
When taking them on, and the whole customer base at least once every three months, with a report to Rosfinmonitoring. The list is updated almost daily, so new additions have to be watched continuously.
Freeze their funds immediately: within 24 hours for the national list and the Commission's decisions, and within 20 hours for the UN lists. Report the freeze to Rosfinmonitoring no later than the next working day.
Failure to comply with the freezing requirements carries up to 500,000 ₽ for an organisation, or suspension of operations for up to 60 days (art. 15.27(2.1) of the Code of Administrative Offences). Sole traders are liable as legal entities. For banks, measures are applied by the Bank of Russia.
Compare not only the full name but also the date of birth. If even one identifier fails to match, the person is not considered to be on the list. NeuroVision does this automatically and does not pass a namesake off as a match.
No. The online account remains the official channel: the lists arrive and reports are sent through it. NeuroVision automates the screening of every customer so that a match is not lost between exports. The checks are available to legal entities and sole traders under contract, and the data is processed in Russia in line with 152‑FZ.
NeuroVision works with companies only. A private individual can use the public version of the list on the Rosfinmonitoring website (fedsfm.ru).
