Politically Exposed Persons
What is a Politically Exposed Person (PEP) ?
Heads of state, public servants, top military leaders, and managers of state-owned businesses are a few examples of PEPs. Close relatives and immediate family members of PEPs can include spouses, kids, parents, siblings, and business partners.
What obligations do financial institutions have towards PEPs?
To reduce the danger of money laundering and other financial crimes, financial institutions like banks are expected to have heightened due diligence procedures in place when dealing with PEPs and their associates.
