Clear® Registered Traveler Will Provide Fidelity National Information Services’ Cardholders with Fast-Lane Access Through Airport Security

 

NEW YORK – Clear Registered Traveler announced an agreement today with Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS) to offer FIS’ loyalty rewards cardholders the opportunity to redeem points for Clear membership.

 

Clear membership enables members to receive expedited processing at airport security checkpoints. Clear lanes are open at JFK Terminals 1, 4 and 7 in New York City and at airports in Cincinnati, San Jose, Indianapolis and Orlando. Clear lanes will open soon at Newark’s Terminal B. Clear has also been chosen by Little Rock and Albany airports, where programs are scheduled to launch soon – giving Clear ten venues at eight airports. In addition, Washington, DC (Reagan and Dulles) Airports, and San Francisco and Denver International Airports have issued announcements to launch registered traveler programs this fall.

 

FIS will feature Clear in its ScoreCard® loyalty rewards program, which is distributed to millions of cardholders annually. Cardholders will have the opportunity to redeem points for a one-year Clear membership.

FIS, a leading provider of technology and services to financial service industries, is one of the largest and most successful financial services technology companies in the world, supporting the success of more than 7,800 financial institutions in more than 60 countries.

 

“Clear has a reputation for improving the airport experience of travelers,” said Robert Bream, president of North American Card Services for FIS. “With this agreement, we are excited to become the first loyalty rewards program to offer our cardholders this streamlined, customer-friendly airport experience.”

“FIS is a natural partner for Clear,” said Verified Identity Pass founder and chief executive officer Steven Brill. “Cardholders are looking for the consistent and reliable customer service that they expect from FIS and that they get with Clear, each and every time they fly. Passengers can use the Clear card to get fast-pass access through the security checkpoint at any airport that has a registered traveler program.”
