PEP screening with context, not just a flag.
Identify politically exposed persons with tiered classification and relationship context, so reviewers can judge real exposure instead of clearing a wall of generic flags.
Flat PEP flags treat a head of state and a distant associate the same way, and common names generate large volumes of low-value hits.
Without tiering and entity resolution, PEP screening produces noise that buries the exposure that actually warrants enhanced due diligence.

Frequently asked questions
What is PEP screening?
Screening customers against politically exposed person data to identify exposure that may warrant enhanced due diligence. BriteBase classifies PEP exposure by tier and relationship instead of applying a flat yes or no flag.
How does tiered PEP classification help?
Flat flags treat a head of state and a distant associate the same way and bury real exposure in noise. Tiering plus relationship context lets reviewers judge actual exposure and make a defensible call.
Does entity resolution apply to PEP hits?
Yes. Entity resolution clears duplicates and homonyms on common names, so the PEP queue reflects real exposure rather than volume.
