PEP Screening Software for AML Compliance Automation

Real-Time PEP Checks, Global Risk Coverage, and Smart Alerts—All in One PEP Screening Solutions

Instantly Detect Politically Exposed Persons

iComply’s PEP Screening and Monitoring solutions help you detect, classify, and monitor politically exposed persons (PEPs) and their close associates across jurisdictions and risk levels.

Our platform automates PEP checks in real time, with built-in risk classification, dynamic monitoring, and audit-ready logs that keep your team focused on what matters.

Screen smarter, reduce false positives, and stay globally compliant—with fewer manual reviews.

How PEP Screening & Monitoring Works

iComply maintains millions of structured PEP profiles, updated daily from government registries, international organizations, regulatory disclosures, public and private sources.

 

  • Class-Based Risk Categorization
    Every match is classified into PEP Class 1–4 based on FATF-aligned criteria (e.g., heads of state, ministers, senior officials, family members, and close associates).
  • Smart Matching and Fuzzy Logic
    Aliases, misspellings, and name variations are caught using Levenshtein distance and phonetic matching—so nothing is missed.
  • Continuous Monitoring and Reclassification
    PEP statuses and profiles are updated automatically with real-time alerts, ensuring ongoing compliance beyond onboarding.
  • Case Management & Audit Trails
    All PEP matches and monitoring events are logged and traceable, with one-click exports for regulators, internal audit, or board reporting.

Global PEP Screening Coverage

iComply supports political exposure screening across 195 jurisdictions, covering structured and unstructured PEP data in multiple languages and formats.

Our actively managed PEP database includes national, regional, and international government sources—and dynamically adjust as political roles change or expire.

We help you meet AML requirements with reliable, real-time political exposure risk data at global scale.

    It’s very easy to work with the PEP data. It helps to maintain, analyse, work with data easily with no issues. It helps me to check on new or updates risks as well.
