The Guernsey Financial Services Commission has reminded licensed and registered firms that the UK Sanctions List is now the only source for all UK sanctions designations, following the closure of the OFSI Consolidated List of Asset Freeze Targets and its search tool. As of 9am GMT on 28 January 2026, the OFSI Consolidated List and search tool are closed and the list will remain available for reference but will no longer be updated. The Commission expects firms to have assessed the impact on screening systems and processes and to have coordinated with relevant business areas and any third-party providers so that screening uses the UK Sanctions List rather than the OFSI Consolidated List; it also pointed to a format guide for the UK Sanctions List, including mappings to the OFSI fields, and referenced its 8 January 2026 notice for further detail.
