PEP checks with context, not just a checkbox

What the check finds

• PEPs: (former) ministers, parliamentarians, state-enterprise executives, senior military and judges.
• RCAs: immediate family and close associates.
• Per match: role(s), period, sources and a match score with confidence level.

What the law asks

Art. 8 Wwft mandates enhanced due diligence for PEPs: establishing source of wealth and senior-management approval. Cloudpliant sets the classification to 'high' automatically and records the reasoning. The judgement stays yours.

Frequently asked questions

Is a PEP hit grounds for refusal?

No, a PEP can be a client, but requires enhanced due diligence and explicit acceptance. Cloudpliant's risk classification makes that decision demonstrable.

Are UBOs checked for PEP status too?

Yes, every recorded UBO is fully screened, and a PEP UBO raises the organisation's own classification to 'high', as art. 8 requires.
