Politically Exposed Persons

What are Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)?

Domestic Politically Exposed Person (DPEP)

These are individuals who hold prominent public positions within their own country.

This includes:

  • Heads of state or government
  • Senior politicians, government ministers, and judiciary officials
  • Senior executives of state-owned corporations
  • High-ranking military officials.They are classified as DPEPs due to their potential access to public resources, which could make them vulnerable to corruption or abuse of power.

Foreign Politically Exposed Person (FPEP)

These are individuals who hold, or have held, similar high-level roles in foreign countries. FPEPs are foreign officials or their associates who might also be in a position to abuse their influence for personal or financial gain.

Examples include:

  • Foreign heads of state or government officials
  • Senior politicians or diplomats from foreign governments
  • Foreign judges or military leaders

Domestic Politically Influenceable Person (DPIP) - Family Members

These are close relatives of Domestic PEPs (DPEPs).

Family members can include:

  • Spouses or partners
  • Children and their spouses or partners
  • Parents, siblings, or other close relatives. Due to their relationship with a politically exposed person, they may have access to privileged information or influence, which makes them susceptible to exploitation or corruption.
  • Close associates are individuals who are closely connected to a PEP, either socially or professionally.

Foreign Politically Influenceable Person (FPIP) - Close Associates

These are individuals who maintain close business or personal relationships with Foreign PEPs (FPEPs).

A close associate could be:

  • Business partners
  • Close friends or advisers
  • Legal representatives or those with significant control over a PEP’s assets FPIPs are often involved in business dealings or transactions that may raise concerns about conflicts of interest or the misuse of political connections.
  • Close associates are individuals who are closely connected to a PEP, either socially or professionally.

Each of these classifications is used in anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) processes to identify and mitigate risks associated with potential corruption or financial crimes. Identifying these individuals helps institutions flag potentially suspicious activities that may be linked to political influence.

Smart screening technology for effective AML compliance

Less False Positives and False Negatives


Name matching is the real challenge in Sanctions & AML compliance. Transliteration issues, nicknames, honorifics, and spelling errors are some of the factors that make name screening a challenge. This cannot be solved with simple fuzzy algorithms.

Our industry-leading screening technology is based on the latest research and achievements in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) used by organisations such as Amazon, LinkedIn, and U.S. Homeland Security.


This technology helps reduce false positives significantly, while making sure that no real matches slip through the cracks.

Adverse Media

Adverse Media Screening is the process of monitoring public sources, like news and social media, to detect negative information about individuals or organisations. It helps businesses identify risks such as criminal activity, fraud, or regulatory violations, which could harm their reputation or legal standing. Used for risk assessment and compliance (e.g., anti-money laundering or Know Your Customer regulations), adverse media screening is often automated to handle large volumes of data and provide real-time alerts. It's a key part of due diligence and risk management strategies.
