Updates to the UK Sanctions List
28th January 2026Further to the notice issued on 8 January 2026, the Commission wishes to remind licensed and registered firms that as of 9am GMT on Wednesday 28 January 2026, the OFSI Consolidated List of Asset Freeze Targets and its search tool are now closed. It will remain available for reference but will no longer be updated.
The UK Sanctions List is now the only source for all UK sanctions designations. No changes have been made to the structure of the current UK Sanctions List. A format guide for the UK Sanctions List is available, which includes mappings to the fields on the OFSI Consolidated List.
The Commission expects licensed and registered firms to have considered the impact on their screening systems and processes that this change may have. Specifically, firms should have liaised with the relevant areas of its business and any third party providers to ensure its screening systems utilise the UK Sanctions List and not the OFSI Consolidated List from today’s date.
The aforementioned 8 January notice provides further details about this change.
