We are delighted to announce the launch of YooniK Identity Verification for Hospitality! Learn how you can get your guests to prove their identity in seconds during online check-in with a simple selfie and a picture of their ID document. Offer online check-in that just works and create memorable customer journeys!

What's in it for you?

Identity verification is fundamentally broken on various levels: inconvenient, insecure and most of the times in violation of privacy protection best practices.

And it is certainly also a P&L problem for hoteliers. Verifying your guests identity at check-in is either giving a hard time to your Finance department — with high operational costs — or a headache to your IT and Compliance teams — with innacurate data or liability for lack of proper privacy protection. Not to mention the most important stakeholders, your guests, who end up with a very inconvenient experience to check-in or pick-up the key, when arriving from a long journey. And bad experiences lead to lower property ratings and ultimately less revenue per available room. Guests want things to just work. And the truth is that the guest is always right.

What many hoteliers sometimes overlook, is that you can actually get rid of ID verification friction while getting even more accurate and reliable ID information from your guests. All with improved compliance of GDPR or similar laws.

IT executives, engineering managers and software developers leading the way in Hospitality are already introducing Digital Identity to enable increased user acquisition and retention rates, reduced operational costs, prevent fraud and ensure privacy compliance. Early movers will offer improved guest experiences and will have a head start in an extremely competitive landscape for the perfect experience. Don't lose the boat.

How does it work?

During reservation or on-line check-in, guests can simply take a picture of their official ID document and a selfie, and YooniK technology does the magic. Able to verify about 10,000 types of documents from 250 countries in over 150 languages, accurate ID data will flow directly to the hotel system and, once guests arrive, you can deliver room key in your favourite way, with the peace of mind that guests indeed have the same identity used to check-in. All that with accurate check-in data flowing automagically into your PMS. And while giving even higher privacy protection to guests than you currently offer.
