The information provided in a PEP match can reveal the role and function the person has, that makes him a PEP, or why the person is regarded a "Relative or Close Associate" (RCA). A list of known aliases is also provided, if the person is known by several names. The pep_source property states which PEP-list the match comes from. BankID currently provides results from two PEP lists. PEP_edge is made editorially by Trapets, and is considered to be of good quality and with a near 100% match level for nordic PEPs. A list called PEP_ac is also included. This list is automatically constructed and has a lower match level. But it could return valuable information, especially for PEPs from outside the nordics.Norwegians in the list can usually be matched on birth date and name, and the list has close to 100% coverage.
Sanction lists matches
The source property states which sanction list the match comes from. BankID currently provides results from two sanction lists: EU_CONSOLIDATED (owned by the EU Commission) and UN_GLOBAL (owned by the UN security council).
Please note that these sources often do not have the SSN or birth date on the persons sanctioned. If matched by name only, a person should not be excluded from entering into a customer relationship without further investigation.
Empty results
If an empty list is returned, this means that a successful search has been conducted and no matches where made.
