Update: Integrated PEP & Sanctions Lookup Checks January 27, 2026
From 1 March 2026, we will introduce an integrated screening service that covers both sanctions and PEPs lookup checks for each transaction on the beneficiary and sender.
Sanctions and Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) screening is a regulatory requirement across both sending and receiving markets. In the UK, this is mandated by the FCA, with similar obligations enforced by regulators globally. These checks must be completed on a transaction-by-transaction basis to ensure ongoing compliance.
Our platform already supports sanctions screening and is routinely reviewed by regulators across multiple jurisdictions. Building on this foundation, we are now extending to include PEP checks, enabling full sanctions and PEP screening to be completed seamlessly in one place.
This enhancement reflects our ongoing commitment to maintaining a robust, regulator-aligned compliance framework that our clients can rely on as they scale across corridors and markets. By centralising these checks within our platform, we help ensure consistency, reduce operational friction, and support confident regulatory engagement with regulators and partners.
PEPs and sanctions screening is a mandatory requirement and must be applied on a transaction-by-transaction basis. If you are reviewing your current setup or evaluating providers, contact us to understand how integrated screening is delivered within our platform at marketing@remitone.com
