A PEP refers to an individual who holds or has held a prominent public position or a position of influence, making them more susceptible to involvement in corruption or illicit activities.
The category encompasses high-ranking government officials, politicians, senior executives of state-owned enterprises, and individuals with close associations to such positions.
Enhanced due diligence measures are applied to prevent corruption, money laundering and other financial crimes when dealing with PEPs.
