Frequent Questions

PEP screening software checks your customers against lists of Politically Exposed Persons — individuals in prominent public positions who pose a higher risk of bribery or corruption — so you can apply enhanced due diligence. Zyphe screens in real time and re-checks every profile daily.

A PEP is someone entrusted with a prominent public function — heads of state, senior politicians, senior government, judicial or military officials, senior executives of state-owned enterprises, and important party officials — plus, for risk purposes, their relatives and close associates.

Zyphe surfaces the relatives and close associates (RCAs) connected to a PEP, because the financial-crime risk frequently flows through a PEP's network rather than the PEP directly.

Zyphe screens on a privacy-first architecture that decentralizes identity storage, so you meet PEP obligations without building a central honeypot of customer PII — unlike traditional providers that retain all screened data centrally.
