Our software will verify user status for special incentives to travelers

We have signed an agreement with Flighthub, a leading North American online travel agency.

Flighthub, based in Montréal and launched  in 2012, will identify their travelers using our ID Scanning and fraud detection technologies for identification of end-users to offer them incentives on purchases.

Flighthub is currently one of North America's most successful online services for booking flight tickets. More than five million customers annually book flights through their two brands Flighthub and JustFly.

“We have already proven that our KYC and identity solutions add immense value for the airline industry when it comes to passenger check-in and verification,” comments April Rae Mallord, General Manager US  at Checkin.com Group. “This agreement, with one of the leading online travel agencies, not only shows that additional sectors of the travel industry are ready to implement secure and streamlined automated ID scanning and verification to improve the user experience, but that there are also other use cases for us to explore in the airline and travel space when it comes to identifying and offering user-status-based incentives like military discounts and student discounts.”

With this collaboration, we continue to expand our footprint in the travel industry, proving that identity verification solutions have broad applications beyond traditional passenger check-in. The partnership paves the way for exploring new use cases in offering user-status-based incentives, ultimately benefiting both the industry and travelers alike.
