Politically Exposed Person (PEP)

How do I check if someone is a politically exposed person (PEP) or on the Government Financial Sanction List?

This can be difficult. You can ask the person if they are a PEP as part of the risk assessment, but there is always they risk they will not be totally honest. You should check the published sanctions list to be certain they do not appear.

The system can check both for you and provide a report within minutes (PEP & Sanctions check).
