CLEAR partners with Stripe to power billing and payments for millions of customers
Stripe, the financial infrastructure platform for businesses, has announced that CLEAR – a leading identity verification platform trusted by over 30 million customers – is moving its payments and billing to Stripe. CLEAR is best known for its flagship membership, CLEAR Plus, which uses biometrics to
speed up identity verification at airports. In recent years, CLEAR has expanded beyond travel to other sectors like healthcare and financial services.
Now, with Stripe, CLEAR is bringing that same fast and easy experience to how its customers pay – with Stripe’ s ease of use, support for digital wallets and other payment methods and higher conversion rates. By adopting Stripe Billing, CLEAR now has a flexible, modern billing system to efficiently manage millions of subscriptions.
“ Just as CLEAR makes confirming your identity seamless and secure, Stripe is helping us make billing and payments effortless, allowing us to focus on delivering frictionless experiences for our members,” said Caryn Seidman Becker, CEO of CLEAR.
