PEP Screening Software
Political exposure brings regulatory complexity. Owlin’s PEP screening tool helps you automatically identify and monitor politically exposed persons (PEPs), reducing the risk of financial crime, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties. With AI-powered detection, global coverage, and real-time alerts, Owlin makes compliance simpler, smarter, and more effective.
What is PEP screening?
A politically exposed person (PEP) is an individual who holds, or has held, a high-profile public role and, as a result, may present a higher risk of involvement in bribery, corruption, or money laundering. Because of their influence, organizations in regulated industries must screen and monitor PEPs as part of their AML and KYC obligations. Examples of PEPs include:
- Heads of state, ministers, and government officials
- Members of parliament or legislative bodies
- Senior executives of state-owned enterprises
- High-ranking military officers
- Ambassadors, diplomats, and consuls
- Central bank leadership
- Close family members and associates of PEPs
Failing to manage PEP exposure properly can result in hefty fines, regulatory scrutiny, and loss of customer trust.
Why automate PEP Screening?
Identifying PEPs manually is time-consuming and error-prone. Owlin’s AI-driven PEP screening solution enables you to:
- Ensure compliance → meet global AML and KYC requirements with confidence
- Minimize false positives → cut down unnecessary alerts and focus on true risks
- Stay current → automatically capture changes as people move into or out of political roles
- Streamline workflows → reduce manual checks with audit-ready documentation
With Owlin, compliance teams spend less time chasing data and more time making informed decisions.
Common challenges in PEP screening
PEP monitoring is rarely straightforward. Organizations often struggle with:
- Global coverage → definitions and requirements vary by jurisdiction
- Constant updates → individuals frequently enter or exit public roles
- Data complexity → large volumes of structured and unstructured information
- Regulatory variation → expectations differ across industries and countries
Owlin helps overcome these challenges with scalable automation, AI-powered accuracy, and customizable screening tailored to your compliance program.
