What a PEP designation means
A Politically Exposed Person is an individual who holds, or has held, a prominent public function. The Financial Action Task Force's Recommendations 12 and 22 require regulated entities to apply enhanced due diligence (EDD) when establishing or maintaining business relationships with PEPs, their family members, and close associates.
Being a PEP is not a finding of wrongdoing or a sanction. It is a structural risk flag that requires additional verification of source of funds, source of wealth, and ongoing transaction monitoring.
