The Blocklist feature allows you to automatically mark or deny specific companies or applicants during KYB automation flows. Each entry defines what to match and what to do when a match occurs.

Step 1: Navigate to Blocklist

  1. Go to Custom Rules → Blocklist tab.You’ll find it next to the Automations tab under Configuration → Custom Rules.
  2. Here you can:
  • View existing blocklist entries.
  • Import or export lists for backup or migration.
  • Click “Create Blocklist” to add a new rule.

Step 2: Create a New Blocklist Entry

Each blocklist entry consists of:
  • A title (for identification),
  • One or more data fields used for matching,
  • And an action to perform when a match is found.

Title

Give your blocklist entry a unique, descriptive name — for example:
Suspicious Lithuanian Companies or Fraudulent Payment Domains.
This title will help differentiate your blocklist rules later.

Step 3: Define Matching Fields

In the Blocklist Values section, you can specify details across several categories: Company, Applicant, UBO, Representative, and Timezone. Each field is optional, but at least one must be filled.

Company Information

FieldDescriptionExample
NameCompany name (exact match required). Case-insensitive and accent-insensitive.ABC Ltd
Registration NumberOfficial registration number. Commonly used for precise matching.123456789

PostcodePostal code.01103
TypeCompany type, e.g. UAB, LLC, LTD.UAB
Activity CodeCompany activity (NACE or other codes).6201

Step 4: Matching Logic

Matching is strict and rule-based to ensure accuracy.
  1. Perfect match only: No fuzzy or similarity scoring. “ABCLTD” will not match “ABC LTD” unless identical after normalization.
  2. Case-insensitive and accent-insensitive: A = a, ą, Â, etc. (handled via database collation).
  3. Empty fields count as a match: If both sides (company and blocklist) leave a field blank → it counts as matching.
  4. At least one field must match between the blocklist and the company data.
  5. Multiple blocklists: If a company matches one rule, later blocklists or automations won’t proceed when the action is Block.

Example:

FieldCompany ValueBlocklist ValueResult
NameABCnull
Registration Number123123Match
Postcodenull123
A match is triggered because one field (registration number) matches exactly. Unless overridden, the action set in the blocklist will execute immediately.

Step 5: Choose Action

Choose what happens when a match is detected:
ActionDescription
** Do Nothing**Logs the event but takes no further action. Useful for observation or passive monitoring.
** Flag**Highlights the company in the system (under Tags). The verification continues normally.
** Block**Automatically denies the company and stops all subsequent blocklist and automation processing.

Step 6: Save and Activate

Click Save to finalize the rule. The entry becomes active immediately — no further activation steps required.

Notes & Best Practices

  • Use registration number whenever possible for precision.
  • Combine email domain and country for effective applicant-level blocking.
  • Regularly review flagged entries to refine your lists.
  • Use Import/Export for bulk updates or cross-environment synchronization.
