MELVILLE, NY – May 4, 2021 -- Intellicheck, Inc.

Total revenue for the same period decreased 8% to $2,863,000 versus $3,115,000 in the prior year comparable period due to fewer ancillary hardware sales during the quarter versus the prior year.
CEO Bryan Lewis said, “In addition to continued growth in our client base, we are seeing current clients employ a variety of new applications for our powerful identity platform. At the same time, we are rapidly advancing in the digital world by offering new and existing clients additional fraud indicators to add to the certainty of person-not-present transactions.”
Lewis continued, “Against the backdrop of surging identity theft and fraud, Intellicheck’s technology solutions continue to prove their value by demonstrating time and time again that we provide the most certainty in assuring the person on the other side of a transaction is who they say they are.”
