The PEP Quiz

Can you identify a politically exposed person?

Did you know, there’s no official global definition of a Politically Exposed Person (PEP)? This means making a risk-based decision on an individual’s PEP status can be difficult for financial crime compliance professionals. So, are you up to the challenge?

Test your knowledge with this short, interactive PEP quiz. Using fictitious profiles, we’ll put your understanding of PEPs and Foreign Public Officials through its paces.

Need to swot up before you start? view our PEP frequently asked questions. Just so you know, all of the definitions we use are in line with official regulator guidance and local financial crime compliance regulations.

Choose your level of difficulty. Good luck!
