Is your firm safe against breaching PEP regulations?

In today’s enforcement climate, UK regulators are sending an unambiguous signal: weak PEP controls are no longer tolerated. Firms are expected to evidence robust, risk‑based due diligence, not simply rely on policies that look good on paper.

Recent enforcement shows the stakes
In 2025, Taylor Vinters (now part of Mishcon de Reya) was fined £172,934 for failing to identify a client’s Politically Exposed Person status in a property transaction—demonstrating how a single missed PEP flag can carry significant financial and reputational consequences. Across the sector, penalties continue rising, and regulators have intensified scrutiny, with fines reaching into the millions for AML and PEP‑related failings, underscoring the shift toward a “prove it” compliance culture.

Is your framework resilient enough?
Now is the time to strengthen screening, governance, and ongoing monitoring—before regulators identify the gaps for you.
