UK's OFSI extends Interim Necessities General Licence to 22 October 2026
→Sanctions teams must retime licence controls to 22 October 2026
Change
UK's OFSI extended General Licence INT/2025/7628424 for six months, setting a new expiry date of 22 October 2026.
Why it matters
The extension keeps authorised interim-necessities payments and services available until the new expiry. OFSI also changed licence definitions, permissions and reporting wording.
Implications
- — Sanctions compliance teams must update expiry controls to 22 October 2026 - transactions after expiry lose licence cover.
- — Payments teams using permission 4.2 must capture the DP sender name - reporting wording now reflects that permission.
