# PEPs

The PEPs datasource is a data source containing information about Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs). PEPs are individuals who currently hold or have held significant public or political positions in governments, international organizations, state-owned enterprises, or political parties. These data sources are used in due diligence and compliance processes, especially in financial and business sectors, to identify and mitigate risks of money laundering, corruption, and terrorism financing. Information contained in PEPs datasources includes individuals' names, their political positions or roles, as well as any relevant associations that may pose a potential risk to an organization.

This service classifies each PEP at a certain level, which indicates the severity of the exposure.

**pep-class-1:** Heads of State Members of the national executive Members of national legislatures Senior military and law enforcement officials High-ranking officials of national agencies Members of central bank boards Senior officials of the judiciary (national level) High-ranking officials of high-level political parties.

**pep-class-2:** Members of the Boards of International Organizations (IOs) and International Sports Federations Ambassadors, high commissioners, and other high-level diplomatic positions Members of the regional executive Members of regional legislatures Senior officials in the regional judiciary.

**pep-class-3:** Senior managers and board members of state-owned companies and organizations.

**pep-class-4:** Mayors and local government officials (sub-regional level).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.caf.io/caf-api/core-api/transaction-details/background-check/kyc/peps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
