PEP Information: Why Is It Mandatory?

As a sole proprietor, PEP verification is part of your business’s legal duty of care. Click here to learn how to complete the verification process in one go, ensuring that your business’s payment transactions and accounts remain active without unnecessary interruptions.

Financial sector regulations and anti-money laundering legislation require us to identify our customers’ political influence (PEP). For sole proprietors, this is part of the company’s routine identification process and statutory compliance.

Impact on your company's day-to-day operations:

  • Uninterrupted payment processing: By verifying your status, you ensure that your business account remains active and that invoice payments are transferred to your account without any manual verification delays.
  • Entrepreneur's Responsibility: When operating under a sole proprietorship, you are personally responsible for your business's information. This statement is a quick way to fulfill the due diligence requirements of the banking and financial sectors.
  • A simple process: This is a one-time verification that does not require any attachments or lengthy explanations.

Who is considered politically influential?

Confirmthat you are a PEP if:

  • You hold a high-level public office: e.g., board membership in state-owned companies, diplomatic posts, or political decision-making at the national level.
  • Your close associates fall under this definition: A family member or close business partner of yours holds one of the aforementioned positions.
