Blocked Transactions refer to what in OFAC compliance?

Blocked transactions are payments prohibited under OFAC regulations. When a payment would involve a designated person, entity, or a sanctioned country or activity, the funds or property must be frozen and the transaction must be prevented from moving forward. This is not about general check suspensions or threshold reviews; it specifically applies to OFAC sanctions, which cover individuals, entities, and restricted countries, and require blocking any attempt to process a prohibited payment.
