## Sanctions

No OFAC or EU listing cites an institution in Mali. Listings are matched on the BIC and its LEI, so they cover the 16 institutions here that hold a BIC. Country programmes name Mali; Elucidate grades them as targeted listings only.

### OFAC programmes naming Mali

Entries on the OFAC lists under each programme, all entry types, published 23 September 2026

-   Mali MALI-EO13882 4

Level: Targeted listings only (graded by Elucidate). A programme lists individuals, entities, vessels and aircraft; its count is not a count of institutions.

### EU regimes naming Mali

Entries on the EU consolidated list under each regime, generated 22 September 2026

-   Mali MLI 4

Level: Targeted listings only (graded by Elucidate).

## Regulation and supervision

None of the 22 tracked registers covers Mali. All 16 institutions listed here hold a BIC; firms licensed only by Mali’s national authorities are not listed.

## Groups and systemic importance

Institutions in Mali belong to 1 group on the FSB’s 2025 list of global systemically important banks (G-SIBs). For 2 institutions here, GLEIF records a parent in another country.

Sources & method

Each institution counts once, in one country: the BIC country when it holds a BIC, otherwise the country of the register that lists it. Licences in other countries are shown on its page.

Sanctions listings are matched on the BIC and on the LEI mapped to it, so they cover institutions that hold a BIC only. Institutions without a BIC are not screened. Always screen against the official lists.

## Assess the financial crime risk behind a counterparty

A BIC or a licence identifies an entity; it does not assess it. The Elucidate FinCrime Index (EFI) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks and payment firms. [Read about the FinCrime Index](https://elucidate.co/ratings).
