PEP and Sanctions Check

Screen an identity against global Politically Exposed Persons and sanctions lists.

The PEP and Sanctions Check step screens a BasicIdentity data block against Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) and sanctions lists via a configured third-party provider. It returns two boolean flags — isPEP and isSanctioned — indicating the screening outcome.

This step is not user-facing and does not render any Player UI.

Key features

• Lightweight screening: Returns two boolean flags rather than a rich match list. For full match details, ranked risk labels, and watchlist coverage, use the AML Screening step instead.
• Single route: Always routes to continue regardless of the screening result; downstream logic (e.g. a Choice step) can branch on the isPEP or isSanctioned values.
• Provider-backed: Requires nCino credentials configured on the Organisation.
