Address & Mortality
Our Address & Mortality checks will check the individuals name, address & date of birth against the UK Credit Reference Agency, UK Credit Databases and UK Electoral Roll sources to confirm their address. The individuals name & address will also be checked against the UK Deceased Person's Record.
To pass the check the individual's name and date of birth has to be found at the address (with a match on the electoral roll and credit database), cannot be flagged as deceased or someone who has moved out (change of address).
PEP's & Sanctions
Possible matches will flag if the following conditions are met:
- The possible match has a recorded date of birth that matches that of your clients OR the possible match does not have an associated date of birth.
- The possible match has a recorded name which is the same as the name you have provided for your client.
- The possible match has been flagged for at least one of the below areas.
Our PEP's & Sanctions checks encompasses five different areas, all of which cover UK and international individuals:
International PEP's: The individuals name and date of birth will be checked against International & Domestic PEP databases. Current, previous and associated PEP's from PEP tiers 1-3 will be flagged.
International Sanctions: The individuals name and date of birth will be checked against International & Domestic sanction databases. Current, previous and associated sanctions will be flagged.
Adverse Media: Evidence that the individual has been reported & involved in financial crime from global newspapers, news sites or other verified media will be flagged.
Disqualified Director: Evidence that the individual has been disqualified as acting as a director of a UK company, sourced directly from Companies House, will be flagged.
Law Enforcement: Evidence of official documentation from Law Enforcement bodies such as the Police or any other agencies such as Interpol or the FBI will be flagged.
