For leasing applicants, verifying with CLEAR is designed to be simple, predictable, and fast: those who have previously verified with CLEAR can confirm their identity instantly with a selfie. Applicants who are new to CLEAR complete a one-time setup—typically in under 90 seconds. From there, identity is confirmed through CLEAR1's multi-layered approach: combining signals from biometrics, documents, and devices— and corroborating them against verified data sources behind the scenes.
"Rental fraud is evolving fast, and the industry needs stronger identity infrastructure to keep pace," said Jon Schlegel, Chief Security Officer at CLEAR. "Our work with Snappt shows that high-assurance identity verification can help stop bad actors earlier in the process without creating unnecessary friction for legitimate applicants."
"Fraud is rising across multifamily, but renters shouldn't pay the price," said Kyle Nelson, EVP of Corporate Strategy & Growth at Snappt. "Our goal is to make it easier for applicants to move through the leasing process while giving operators greater confidence in who they're approving."
Last year, CLEAR announced a partnership with Docusign to strengthen security against identity fraud. This latest partnership with Snappt demonstrates CLEAR's commitment to helping enterprises stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape by leveraging frictionless identity assurance that can be seamlessly integrated.
Snappt and CLEAR plan to continue expanding the integration across markets, with a focus on strengthening identity verification earlier in the screening process as fraud tactics continue to evolve.
