deepidv screens every name, tiers the real risk, and monitors the relationship — from onboarding through every status change after.

Assess the true risk

Not all PEPs carry equal risk. Matches are tiered high, medium, or low by jurisdiction and position, then routed straight into the right enhanced due diligence workflow.

PEP + sanctions + adverse media

A PEP match is the start, not the verdict. deepidv layers sanctions list checks and continuous adverse-media monitoring over every match — surfacing corruption allegations, financial crime, and the news coverage that pushes a customer's true risk higher.

Frequently asked questions

PEPs include current and former government officials, political party leadership, executives of government-controlled entities, senior officials of international organizations (UN, World Bank, IMF), and their immediate family members and close associates.

Our database covers 211+ countries and territories with over 2.5 million politically exposed persons, family members, and close associates. It is updated continuously as officials take office, leave positions, or acquire/lose PEP status.

Our PEP screening meets Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), USA PATRIOT Act, FinCEN guidance, FATF recommendations, and EU Anti-Money Laundering Directives — supporting risk-based customer due diligence and EDD workflows.

Yes. In addition to initial screening at onboarding, continuous monitoring alerts you when existing customers gain PEP status, when database records are updated, or when new sanctions appear — automatically recalculating due diligence requirements.
