CLEAR, the secure identity company using biometrics to build a frictionless and secure world, is now available at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM). With CLEAR, members traveling through BHM can get through the security checkpoint quickly and easily so they can get to their flight faster or enjoy extra time in the terminal.

CLEAR is changing the way consumers experience the world by transforming the cards in their wallet into a single biometric ID. With CLEAR, your fingertips, eyes and face are your ID, credit card, ticket, reservation and more. Today, there are roughly 3.8 million CLEAR members enjoying secure, frictionless experiences at 60+ airports, stadiums and other locations nationwide.

"Today's launch is an important step toward making travel stress disappear from The Magic City," said Howard Kass, EVP, Corporate Affairs at CLEAR. "We're excited to open here in Birmingham and proud to have created 25 new jobs, which will enhance the BHM experience, and help support the local community as well."

BHM has been welcoming travelers to The Magic City and serving as Central Alabama's gateway to the sky for more than 80 years.
