PEP Screening Record Redaction with anonym.plus

Finance Solution · AML, Fraud & Financial Crime · EU AMLD5 (Dir. 2018/843)

A PEP screening record logs a politically exposed person check required by AMLD5 (Directive 2018/843). anonym.plus removes the subject's name, ID, and contacts from that result on your device. The role flag and match basis stay clear while the private data is shielded.

When this applies

A team uses a past hit to train staff on enhanced scrutiny for officials. You clean that teaching copy before it circulates.

How anonym.plus handles it

1. Open the result in anonym.plus on your device.
2. Local OCR reads a scanned check printout.
3. The tool flags the name, ID, and contacts.
4. Keep the role flag and match basis.
5. Swap each identifier for a label.
6. Save the clean copy locally.

What you need to provide

• The PEP result (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
• An operator (Replace keeps the basis readable).
• Optional allow-list for the role category.

PII & financial identifiers detected

Compliance achieved

• Removes subject data from a check kept under Directive 2018/843.
• Keeps the role flag and match basis for analyst study.
• Offline work keeps a sensitive official's data off any server.
• Covers 48 languages for cross-border official names.

Limitations & cautions

AMLD5 requires you to retain the full screening evidence. Clean only copies for training or external review. A public official with a rare role can be identified even without a name, so check the residual basis.
