Plus Feature — OFAC Licensing Engine

A sanctions flag doesn't have to mean lost tuition

When screening flags a student or payor, most schools panic. SecurePoint's licensing engine shows you the path forward — General License, Specific License, or both — and drafts the application so your team isn't starting from scratch.

The Real Cost of Rejecting Tuition

One flag can mean $60,000+ in lost revenue per student

International boarding school tuition averages $60,000–$80,000 per year. When a sanctions flag hits, schools without a licensing path reject the payment and lose the student. Schools with SecurePoint explore the licensing option first — and keep the tuition when OFAC authorizes it.

Guided Assessment

Walk through the licensing decision step by step

The assessment guides your team through a structured questionnaire — which sanctions program triggered the flag, what type of transaction is involved, and which CFR exceptions may apply. No compliance expertise required to start.

  • Identifies whether a General License already authorizes the transaction
  • Recommends the Specific License path when General doesn't apply
  • Cites the exact CFR section backing each recommendation
  • Legal disclaimers on every screen — counsel always has final say
  • Completes in minutes, not days of legal research

How It Works

From sanctions flag to licensed transaction in four steps

Most schools take weeks to figure out what to do after a flag. SecurePoint compresses that into a structured workflow.

1

Flag triggers assessment

When screening flags a party, SecurePoint immediately surfaces the "Explore Licensing Options" panel. Your team clicks through a guided assessment instead of calling legal in a panic.

2

AI drafts the application

If a Specific License is needed, the engine generates a complete application letter with your institution's details, the party's information, applicable CFR sections, and transaction specifics. Ready for counsel review.

3

Submit and track

Submit the application to OFAC and track its status in the licensing dashboard. SecurePoint logs the submission date and sets the expiration alert automatically.

4

License approved — accept the tuition

When OFAC approves the license, mark the party as cleared with a documented licensing authorization. The audit trail connects the screening, the assessment, the application, and the approval.
