Description:

This web services was created to aid banks in meeting the requirements of the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC). OFAC restricts transactions with specific countries, organizations and individuals. The Office of Foreign Assets Control ('OFAC') of the US Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. OFAC acts under Presidential wartime and national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose controls on transactions and freeze foreign assets under US jurisdiction. Many of the sanctions are based on United Nations and other international mandates, are multilateral in scope, and involve close cooperation with allied governments.

• The coloring of the lower bar in the graph indicates certain properties of the response during a particular availability check.
•   OK: We verified that the server correctly implements the SOAP protocol, however this does not mean that we have verified its actual functionality (such as a weather service).
•   connect error: we were unable to establish a connection to the server.
•   connect timeout: we have been able to contact the server, however within 20 seconds we could not establish a connection.
•   read timeout: the server took more then 20 seconds to send its response.
•   read error: we were able to connect the server, however for some reason we failed to read the response data.
•   malformed response: the server did not respond according to the SOAP protocol specification. Please not that the service still might provide some functionality, but it is likely that there exists some problem.
