Caryn Seidman Becker on CNBC’s Changemakers: CLEAR’s Vision Beyond the Airport

Last week, CLEAR CEO, Caryn Seidman Becker joined CNBC as part of their Changemakers series, which spotlights female leaders who have left an indelible mark on the business world and beyond.

In this conversation, Caryn shares the vision behind CLEAR: a secure identity platform where you enroll once and use everywhere, from airports to doctor’s offices, banks, and beyond—making it safer and easier to prove You are YOU.,

“We started in airports where identity, security, and customer experience are paramount […] And if we can solve that problem, certainly we can solve problems in healthcare, financial services, or online in marketplaces."

From Enroll Once to Use Everywhere: CLEAR’s Secure Identity Platform

CLEAR’s journey began in the airport—with CLEAR+, you get to your gate faster using your face to verify your identity at airport security. CLEAR later expanded to stadiums and venues, bringing the same fast and frictionless entry experience to concerts and games. But, as Caryn shares in this interview, that was just the beginning. Today, CLEAR’s secure, biometric technology is helping over 31 million Members verify their identity with ease, speed, and confidence in all facets of their lives.

"This concept of a secure identity platform where you enroll once and use everywhere is a here and now opportunity… enterprises want to strengthen security, want to reduce fraud, want to prevent insider risk."

Meet CLEAR1: The Identity Solution Built for Businesses

Born from the high-trust environment of the airport, CLEAR1 brings that same rigor to some of the most sensitive and complex business use cases.

CLEAR1 is already being used across industries, such as:

• Healthcare: protecting patient privacy and streamlining patient check-in
• Workforce: strengthening security by verifying employees at critical touchpoints like onboarding, access control, and account recovery
• Rentals & Shared Assets: protecting against theft and fraud by knowing your renters
• Financial Institutions: enabling stronger customer authentication and regulatory compliance

‍

“There are so many opportunities to use [CLEAR] in your daily life. We’re partnered with Uber for driver verification. We’re partnered with Okta for enterprise authentication. We’re partnered with Docusign to sign documents. We announced a partnership with Greenhouse. There are so many places to use it throughout the workforce. In healthcare you can use it to check in at the doctor’s office. It’s about connecting you to all the things that make you, you.”

What’s Next for CLEAR

CLEAR is building identity infrastructure for a world that is, unfortunately, fraught with bad actors. But we at CLEAR remain optimistic and confident in our mandate to strengthen security, reduce fraud, and prevent insider risk. That means continued innovation in:

• Biometric hardware like our new face-first EnVe Pods
  
• Total Identity Integrity, otherwise known as identity with depth
  
• Partnerships across industries from travel to healthcare to finance and beyond
