What is enhanced due diligence?
Enhanced due diligence (EDD) is a deeper investigation applied when customer risk is higher than your standard profile—for example a politically exposed person, a high-risk geography, or a watchlist result that needs human review.
What EDD usually adds
Source of funds or wealth questions, extra identity evidence, senior-approval gates, and more frequent refresh. The exact pack is your policy. The screening API should give reviewers the list context and identifier they need to start that pack.
PEP and EDD
PEP results help teams identify customers who need enhanced due diligence. Route the match to review, collect the relevant evidence, and document the approval or escalation.
How Naiza supports EDD
Naiza connects PEP and watchlist match evidence with fraud event history and dashboard cases. Investigators review onboarding and later payments in one trail, assign work, and record the outcome.

Does a PEP match require EDD?
A PEP match commonly triggers enhanced due diligence. Review the supporting identity and source evidence, collect additional information, and document the outcome.
How do investigators use Naiza during EDD?
