Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about PEP screening.
A Politically Exposed Person is someone who holds, or has held, a prominent public function, such as a head of state, minister, senior official, judge or senior military officer. Because of their position, PEPs carry a higher risk of bribery and corruption, so they require enhanced due diligence under AML rules.
PEPs are tiered by seniority. Class 1 is the most senior: parliamentarians and senators, cabinet ministers, chiefs of armed staff, royal family members, central bank governors, national party presidents and supreme court chief justices. Class 2 covers ambassadors, senior military officers, judges and prosecutors, capital city mayors, senior religious leaders, governors, chief inspectors of ministries, chief executives of government bodies and heads of intelligence services. Class 3 covers municipal mayors and councils, central bank directors, national party councils and district presidents, state-owned company executives and senior academic officials. Class 4 covers relatives and close associates (RCAs) of PEPs. The full platform also covers Special Interest Persons (SIP) and state-owned companies. This free tool covers Class 1 and Class 2.
