Watchlist questions.

Who needs this, which lists are included, and what PEP screening actually tells you.

Who needs watchlist screening?
Required for banks, fintechs, insurers, and anyone regulated under AML/KYC rules. Strongly recommended for executive hires, international vendors, and public-sector contractors.
What's a Politically Exposed Person (PEP)?
Current or former senior officials, military leaders, judicial figures, state-owned-enterprise executives, and their close family and associates, people with elevated corruption or bribery risk.
How often is the data refreshed?
Sanctions and terror lists are refreshed multiple times per day. PEP data and adverse media are refreshed continuously. Continuous monitoring re-checks enrolled names daily.
How do you handle false positives?
Fuzzy name matching is paired with secondary identifiers such as DOB, nationality, and known addresses, and every potential match is analyst-reviewed before it hits your report.

FCRA compliance
