Identity matching — read this first. Sanctions and PEP records are aggregated from independent publishers, each of which spells names differently and publishes a different subset of identifying attributes (date of birth, nationality, place of birth, official identifiers). We aggregate records as a single individual only when date of birth or a combination of strong attributes confirms identity. Lower-confidence matches are surfaced as Possible matches with the specific evidence — they are not silently combined. You must independently verify identity against the issuing authority's source record before any sanctions, AML, or compliance determination.

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.
