What is PEP country filtering?
PEP country filtering removes Politically Exposed Person (PEP) profiles where the country of office doesn't match any of the following customer country attributes
- Nationalities
- Countries of residence
- Country of birth
This feature ensures that you only receive PEP hits from countries where the customer could feasibly have held a position of office.
How to apply
This filter is applied by default. To opt out of this function, please reach out to support.
Other information
- Profiles without a country listed from a PEP data source will never be filtered out based on this setting.
- If a customer has no countries set, all PEP matches will be returned.
- If you would like to set countries to be applied to all customers in addition to the customer values, this can be set per screening configuration via API. For more information, see the API documentation here.
By utilizing PEP country filtering, you can enhance the relevance and accuracy of your PEP screening processes, ensuring that your focus remains on the most pertinent risk profiles.
