Virdee announced it will implement Clear’s secure identity platform to power its digital, self-service check-in solutions. The partnership marks the first integration within the hotel space for Clear and its 13 million members. While checking into a hotel, existing Clear members will verify their identity with a photo while new users enroll for free with a few simple steps. As verified guests complete check in on the Virdee platform, they can process their payment, customize their stay, receive a mobile or physical key and head straight to their room.
“We are so excited to launch this first-of-its-kind partnership with Virdee," Clear EVP for Growth Catesby Perrin said in a statement. "This partnership is an ideal opportunity to offer travelers a quick and seamless hotel check-in experience—no more waiting in long lines to prove you are you.”
The partnership enables a seamless and predictable travel experience from air travel to car transportation to hotel check-in, avoiding long lines along the way.
“We’re excited to help hotels catch up with the self-service digital innovation happening in other verticals of travel. This partnership is a step toward creating a seamless digital experience across all touchpoints of the traveler journey,” said Virdee co-founder Nadav Cornberg. “In addition, hotel owners gain yet another solution to help them improve guest satisfaction and increase efficiencies.”
