Four kinds of lists in one call
Politically exposed persons, the US federal exclusions list, World Bank debarred firms and individuals, and the UK sanctions list, screened together so one call answers the question.
- Politically exposed persons
- US federal exclusions
- World Bank debarments
- UK sanctions list
Every hit can be checked against its source
A possible match carries the list, the matched name, a score and a link to the source record, so your reviewer confirms it in a minute instead of starting a search.

Teams that onboard customers, sellers and vendors screen them first
Fintechs and payment companies
Screen each new customer at signup and send possible matches to a reviewer before the account goes live.
Marketplaces and platforms with sellers
Screen sellers and their owners before the first payout.
Vendor and supplier onboarding teams
Check a new supplier and its principals before the first purchase order.
Federal contractors
Check subcontractors against the federal exclusions list before they join a bid.
Crypto and digital asset businesses
Add PEP and debarment checks to the sanctions screening you already run.
Compliance teams doing periodic reviews
Re-screen the whole customer book by file on the schedule your policy sets.
These are the questions people ask before they start
What does PEP and Debarment Screening check?
A person or company name, screened against politically exposed person data, the US federal exclusions list, World Bank debarred firms and individuals, and the UK sanctions list. Each possible match comes back with the list, the date and a link to the source.
How much does it cost?
2 credits a screening: 1¢ on Starter (10,000 screenings a month for $99) and 0.4¢ on Enterprise. A clean screening costs the same.
How do I get access?
PEP and Debarment Screening requires approval. Start the 7-day free trial, and right after it starts your account asks for a short application about your business and your screening program. We review each one before we switch the product on.
Why does it require approval?
It returns records about real people from watchlists, so we review each business and its screening program before we switch it on. You confirm that a hit is a possible match for your team to review, not a legal determination.
Does a PEP match mean someone did something wrong?
No. A politically exposed person is someone who holds or held a prominent public office, and the label says nothing about misconduct. It tells your team to apply the extra checks its policy sets for that customer.
Does it cover the US sanctions lists?
1Lookup's Sanctions Screening covers the US government lists, on the same credits. Run both for a full check: this product adds PEPs, debarments and the UK list.
Is a hit a final answer?
No. Every hit is a possible match on a name, with a score, for a person on your team to confirm against the source record linked in the result.
Do my credits work for anything else?
Yes. Credits are one balance across every 1Lookup product, so the plan that pays for screening also pays for business verification, email and phone checks and the rest.
Screening is one check, and these complete the picture
Here is how PEP and Debarment Screening compares with the screening services
Each page sets a rival's published price beside ours at the same monthly volume and says where the rival is cheaper. Every price carries its source and the month it was read.
