Platform · PEP screening and business verification
Politically exposed persons and business checks, on the same record as your sanctions screening.
PEP screening and business verification sit on the customer record that already holds your sanctions results. One onboarding decision carries all three answers, so your reviewer and your examiner see the whole picture in one place instead of across three tools.
The problem it removes
Three checks, three vendors, no single answer
- Sanctions, PEP and business checks often come from different providers, and the results never meet on one record.
- A reviewer clears a sanctions hit without seeing that the same person is a senior foreign political figure.
- When an examiner asks why an account was opened, the answer is spread across three exports.
What you see
One record, every check
Each person and business on the onboarding record shows its sanctions result, its PEP result and its business verification result together, with the source of each.
| Party | Sanctions | PEP | Business verification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calder Freight Partners LLC | Clear | n/a | Verified |
| R. Delacroix, 40% owner | Clear | PEP for review | n/a |
| T. Ames, controller | Clear | Not a PEP | n/a |

How it works
Screen, verify, review
- Screen. The people on the record are checked for politically exposed status alongside the sanctions screening they already go through. Written rules decide each result.
- Verify. The business itself is verified, and the result is kept on the same record.
- Review. Your analysts, or a practitioner under your engagement, review any PEP result and decide what enhanced due diligence it calls for. No model makes that call.
Guardrails
What it will never do
- It doesn't decide that a PEP is too risky to serve. That judgment stays with your team.
