# Updated PEP Similarity Threshold

> May 27, 2026

The similarity threshold for PEP (Politically Exposed Person) name matching has been raised from 0.90 to 0.95, following feedback from customers seeing high volumes of false positives on partial name overlaps.

The updated threshold reduces noise on ambiguous matches while preserving coverage on genuine hits.\
No integration changes required, the adjustment applies automatically to all Person Search and watchlist results that include PEP screening.
