Azerbaijan
OFAC, the UN, the EU, the UK Sanctions List and Azerbaijan's own sanctions list, checked together. If any one of them is missing, the result is never called clear.
The Azerbaijan screening policy
A Verifex screening policy decides which lists must answer before a result can be clear. The Azerbaijan policy requires all five below. If any one cannot be confirmed current, the result is held for review and the gap is written on the record.

UK Sanctions List
Expected by UK correspondent banks and partners.
Azerbaijan domestic list
Targeted financial sanctions designated in Azerbaijan, published on hms.gov.az.
Azerbaijan's targeted financial sanctions list is published by the State Security Service on the hms.gov.az portal. It holds domestic designations only, which is why UN designations are covered through the UN list and both are required.
PEP data covers office holders such as ministers, members of parliament, judges and ambassadors. A PEP needs extra checks, not a ban, so a PEP result never becomes a sanctions result by itself.
PEP screeningVerifex Shield monitors transfers with amounts in AZN, screens the counterparty in the same call, can use a SIMA biometric check result as a signal, and produces the monthly AML reports. Generally available, switched on per account.

Most Azerbaijani banks and payment firms screen the UN list (the global baseline), OFAC (because US-dollar business creates exposure), the EU and UK lists (expected by correspondent banks), and Azerbaijan's own domestic list. Verifex has an Azerbaijan screening policy that treats all five as required. Confirm your exact obligations with your compliance adviser.
Yes. Verifex loads Azerbaijan's domestic targeted financial sanctions list, published by the State Security Service on the hms.gov.az portal. That list holds domestic designations only, so UN designations are covered through the UN list, and an Azerbaijan policy screens both.
Under the Azerbaijan policy, every one of the five lists is required. If any of them cannot be confirmed current, the result is not returned as clear: it is held for review and the gap is shown on the record.
Yes. Verifex Shield takes amounts in AZN natively (other currencies need the rate to AZN), screens the counterparty for sanctions and PEP in the same call, and can use a SIMA biometric check result as a signal. Shield is generally available and switched on per account.
Pricing is the same in every country. The Free plan includes 50 screens a month with no card, and paid plans start at $49 a month. List coverage depends on the plan. Shield is priced per account.
