CLEAR announced a new enterprise offering Wednesday that packages its identity-based expedited-travel services into a single corporate program intended to reduce day-of-travel friction for business travelers.

Program packs CLEAR+, concierge, TSA PreCheck and mobile tools

The new CLEAR Corporate Memberships combines CLEAR+, CLEAR Concierge, TSA PreCheck enrollment and the CLEAR mobile app into one enterprise product. The company, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange as YOU, introduced the program at the Global Business Travel Association Convention in Chicago.

CLEAR said the package is designed to offer business travelers "greater speed, certainty, and predictability from home to gate," addressing what the company described as persistent day-of-travel uncertainty despite significant corporate spending on travel management.

"Business travelers deserve every opportunity to make their trips more predictable and efficient," said Michael Barkin, president of CLEAR.

Industry context and cost of disruptions

CLEAR cited industry research showing that nearly nine in 10 business travelers experienced travel disruptions in 2025. The company also referenced an estimate that U.S. firms spend about $17 billion annually dealing with delays and cancellations. CLEAR framed its corporate memberships as a tool to reduce lost productivity, traveler stress and negative effects on employee engagement and retention.

The company said the program aims to give corporations a more transparent and controlled travel experience on the travel day itself — an area their announcement characterized as under-addressed relative to planning and booking processes.

What companies get

CLEAR described the offering as an "industry-first" enterprise program. It bundles the following elements into a single corporate package:

  • CLEAR+ — the company's identity verification and expedited security lane product;
  • CLEAR Concierge — an assistance service for members;
  • TSA PreCheck enrollment — a streamlined application pathway for TSA PreCheck;
  • CLEAR mobile app — tools and information for members on the go.
Component Purpose
CLEAR+ Faster identity verification and access to expedited lanes
CLEAR Concierge On-demand assistance for travel issues
TSA PreCheck enrollment Simplified enrollment for TSA PreCheck eligibility
CLEAR app Mobile access to services and travel information

The company said the combined product is intended to help firms achieve improved productivity and lower travel costs, though it did not disclose pricing or contract terms in the announcement.

Implications for corporate travel management

Travel managers and corporate procurement teams have increasingly looked to technology and concierge services to blunt the operational and human costs of disrupted itineraries. CLEAR's pitch centers on the travel day — the period when itinerary plans most often unravel, according to the data the company cited.

By bundling identity verification with enrollment services and concierge support, CLEAR is positioning itself as a one-stop solution for employers aiming to reduce the unpredictability of employee travel. For organizations that already subsidize or require PreCheck enrollment, the program promises a streamlined route to add identity-based lane access and on-demand assistance.

The broader market will be watching how corporations respond to an offering that attempts to standardize day-of-travel services across employee populations and travel management programs, and whether the bundled approach produces measurable reductions in delay-related costs and productivity losses.

CLEAR's announcement underscores continuing pressure on travel providers and corporate buyers to address not just booking and policy compliance, but the operational realities employees face on travel days.
