Pep Screening
Context.
Under AML rules, obliged entities must identify politically exposed persons (PEPs) — and often their family and close associates — and apply enhanced vigilance. PEP status changes over time; weak definitions, list coverage, or hit-handling create both false comfort and operational overload.
Screening compares customer data against curated sources to surface matches for investigation. Effective programmes combine clear typology and risk appetite, calibrated matching, disposition playbooks, and EDD packs for higher-risk PEPs — increasingly expected by NBB, CSSF, and EU peers.
Pideeco designs PEP and sanctions screening methodologies and workflows: policy, tool configuration, false-positive reduction, and assurance testing so your process is audit- and supervisor-ready.
