A PEP match does not prevent you from acting for this client. It means you must apply Enhanced Customer Due Diligence (ECDD) before onboarding: obtain senior management approval, take reasonable steps to establish the source of wealth and source of funds, and apply enhanced ongoing monitoring.
First, review whether the match genuinely relates to your client using the details above (name, country, and lists). Document your reasoning either way and retain this record.
