IDKit PEP/Sanctions - Powered by Acuris/ION

🛡️IDKit streamlines verification to check that individuals are not politically exposed or sanctioned.

Specification used for IDKit Integration

IDKit PEP and Sanctions, powered by Acuris/ION, supports compliance efforts by screening datasets to verify that individuals are not politically exposed persons or under sanctions. This tool helps manage reputational and regulatory risks by ensuring individuals do not have these risk factors. The search outcome is to ascertain whether an individual's first name, last name, or date of birth matches any entry within the dataset, subsequently flagging or passing the results as appropriate.

The result of the search will include some basic information about the profile – enough for you to identify whether or not the match is, in fact, the profile you searched for.

Integration Notes

There are some things that you need to know for the integration:

  • Data used for validation: name + date of birth.
  • Datasets (pepTiers) used: [PEP,SAN,REL,RRE]. See the description below:
