Intellicheck CEO Bryan Lewis said adoption of the company’s leading identity authentication technology solutions is strong and continues to grow. “We achieved significant milestones in 2018 and I am very pleased with the advances we have made.

These merchants represent thousands of retail locations in which Retail ID will be used when fully rolled out. We are also in pilot with our latest new bank for its own credit cards and its retail bank branches.

As we focus on our strategic objectives for 2019, we anticipate that as long as we continue to execute on the opportunities before us, we believe it will be a banner year,” Lewis concluded.
