Under anti-money laundering legislation, organisations must determine if an individual is considered a Politically Exposed Person (PEP) and therefore poses a higher risk to the firm. Additionally, many firms are required to ensure they are not employing, or engaging with, sanctioned individuals.
EBC Global's International Sanctions and PEP check enables you to easily identify whether the people you are looking to recruit match known PEPs or sanctioned individuals, allowing you to make informed decisions based on information returned in our reports.
In addition to those identified as either current/former PEPs, our search will also reveal individuals that have a strong connection with a Politically Exposed Person. These individuals are known as Relatives and Close Associates (RCAs), including business partners and trusted advisors.
Our reports will feature real-time results from international sanctions lists, including HM Treasury, the UN Security Council, the EU sanctions list, the US Department of State, OFAC, and other global financial sanction bodies.

- Offers global overview to identify regulatory risk and prevent breach of sanctions

International Criminal Records
Conducting international criminal record checks is crucial for employers when hiring candidates with overseas backgrounds. These checks ensure that employers have a comprehensive understanding of a candidate's history.
By obtaining an applicant's criminal record from countries they have previously lived or worked in, employers can make informed hiring decisions and demonstrate their commitment to compliance and due diligence.
However, obtaining international criminal record checks can be challenging due to varying legal requirements, processes, and accessibility of information across different countries. Each nation has its own language, regulations and procedures, which can complicate the process for employers.
Despite these challenges, partnering with experienced background screening providers can help navigate these complexities and ensure that the checks are conducted efficiently and compliantly.
