Digital Identity

Miami – October 15, 2026 -- Fewer than half of corporate and transaction banking leaders (47%) say their digitization strategy is delivering expected results, even though 88% report that technology and digital acceleration are having a high impact on their organizations, according to CGI's 2026 Voice of Our Clients research.

CGI argues the gap stems from a lack of trusted, interoperable data rather than a lack of technology. Scanned PDFs remain digital copies of physical documents, so their contents still have to be extracted, re-entered into multiple systems and verified manually.

Repeated verification slows each hand-off in the trade chain

Banks, customs authorities and buyers each re-verify the same trade data when a shipment changes hands or a new party joins a transaction. CGI says this duplication slows processing, raises costs and creates friction across the ecosystem.

New York – October 11, 2026 -- CLEAR (NYSE: YOU) has integrated its CLEAR1 secure identity platform with Amazon Web Services' Amazon Connect, allowing contact centers to verify a caller's identity before or during a support interaction.

The integration targets fraud, impersonation and high-friction verification, which the company identifies as weak points in contact center support. Organizations can place identity checks earlier in the support journey, before the customer speaks with an agent.

Callers verify via SMS link before reaching an agent

When a customer calls a support center powered by Amazon Connect, they can choose to verify through CLEAR. Customers who opt in receive a secure SMS link and complete verification on their phone. The call is then routed to an agent, who sees the verification result in real time.

New York – October 11, 2026 -- CLEAR (NYSE: YOU) has launched CLEAR Corporate Memberships, an enterprise program that bundles CLEAR+, CLEAR Concierge, TSA PreCheck® enrollment and the CLEAR app into one offering aimed at the day of business travel. The company describes the product as an industry first and is presenting it at the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) Convention 2026 in Chicago.

Disruption data frames the corporate pitch

CLEAR cites industry research showing nearly nine in ten business travelers experienced travel disruptions in 2025. U.S. companies spend an estimated $17 billion annually managing the impact of delays and cancellations, according to the same research.
