DOVER, Del. - TelAve -- DOVER, Del. — SecurePoint USA today announced the general availability of its Education Sanctions Screening module, purpose-built to help private schools, boarding schools, and universities comply with Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regulations governing tuition payments from international families, sponsors, and third-party payers.

The announcement follows a landmark $1.72 million enforcement action against IMG Academy, in which the U.S. Department of the Treasury found the institution had accepted tuition payments from individuals subject to U.S. sanctions. The case marked one of the first major OFAC enforcement actions specifically targeting an educational institution and sent a clear signal to the broader independent school community.

"Most private schools have no idea they're required to screen tuition payers against OFAC watchlists," said Matthew Cornell, CTO of SecurePoint USA. "The IMG Academy case proved this isn't a theoretical risk — it's a real compliance exposure that can result in seven-figure fines. We built this module specifically so schools don't have to navigate that alone."

SecurePoint USA's Education Screening module enables schools to:

• Screen students, parents, sponsors, and third-party payers against OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) and Consolidated Sanctions lists
• Automatically re-screen enrolled families on a monthly basis
• Generate audit-ready documentation for compliance review
• Receive guided support when a potential match requires OFAC licensing review

Unlike enterprise-grade compliance tools designed for large financial institutions or defense contractors, SecurePoint USA's education module is designed for business office and admissions staff — requiring no IT integration, no ERP system, and no compliance team to operate.

The platform also addresses a frequently misunderstood aspect of OFAC compliance: a positive screening match does not automatically disqualify a student. In some cases, schools may be eligible to apply for an OFAC-issued license that legally permits the enrollment and tuition acceptance. SecurePoint USA's platform guides schools through this process, potentially preserving both the student relationship and the tuition revenue.
