Contact usOn November 10, 2023, the EU Official Journal published a detailed list of all public functions (C/2023/724) at the national level for each Member State, including positions within international organisations, EU institutions and bodies. This list outlines the definition of Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) within the EU as anyone holding a position listed in their respective national lists.
Globally, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) as well as regional and national bodies like the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Authority (AMLA) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) provide standards for identifying and managing PEPs to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing and uphold global standards in the fight against financial fraud and corruption.
Drawing on these authoritative inputs, we have established a unified PEP categorization that meets the diverse requirements of various jurisdictions. This robust framework enables effective identification and management of PEPs worldwide by supporting a risk-based approach, reinforcing our commitment to combating financial fraud on a global scale.

Benefit from our pre-defined PEP categorization.
Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) are individuals who are or have been entrusted with prominent public functions, and they can pose higher risks due to their positions and the influence they may hold.

Besides politicians there are judges, prosecutors, central bank and state-owned enterprise board members, executive auditors, agency officials, military and embassy officials as well as international organization officials who influence the public discourse. Their relatives and close associates (RCAs) also play a role, potentially extending influence indirectly. dilisense distinguishes the roles and understanding them helps safeguard against corruption and ensures organizational integrity.

What individuals are considered Politically Exposed Persons (PEP)?
We follow the definitions provided by the renowned regulatory bodies and associations:
Do you also consider Relatives and Close Associates (RCAs)?
Yes, where available we add RCAs to our data as well.
Is your data proprietary?
Yes, we source our data directly from publicly available governmental and non-governmental websites. You can find a field called 'links' in our data set which shows you the source of the data.
How often are PEPs updated?
We update our PEP data at least once a day. In general we can set any frequency on a source level to ensure you get the latest updates as soon as they are published.
How do you flag the 'age' of a PEP?
We have a 'last_seen' field available which we can enable via feature flag for your API key. This field shows you the date of when we saw that name the last time on the source website.
Are you augmenting your data with Adverse Media?
We are working on a separate Adverse Media product and will launch it in Q3/2024. You can contact us to stay up-to-date with our development roadmap.
