Bilateral Identity
Verification at Scale.
NFC + Wallet.
The Lynk Verified™ Solution for Uber, Lyft, and Beyond
Tap to verify. Face ID confirms identity. Real-time GREEN/YELLOW/RED verification in <300ms. Works even if app crashes. Reduces $500M in annual account-sharing fraud. Cryptographic audit trail for regulatory compliance and liability protection.
The Account-Sharing Crisis
$500M+ Fraud
Account sharing, credential theft, and account takeovers cost Uber + Lyft combined $500M annually. Zero bilateral verification today.
No Liability Layer
Riders can't verify drivers. Drivers can't verify riders. App verification can't satisfy regulatory or insurance requirements.
CLEAR offers optional rider badges (static, pre-ride verification). Helpful for general trust, but insufficient for reducing fraud at scale: real-time bilateral verification with device-level security + app crash resilience + cryptographic audit trail. Badges can't detect account sharing in real-time or satisfy insurance/compliance requirements. Lynk Verified solves this.

One-Tap Bilateral Verification
Rider taps NFC sticker on car door. Face ID unlocks wallet card. Backend verifies: device fingerprint, GPS proximity (<20m), active ride. Result: GREEN (verified) / YELLOW (manual check) / RED (fraud alert). Driver and rider both get confirmation in <300ms. Works even if app crashes—NFC card always readable.
Device-Level Security (No Per-Tap ML)
Face ID at wallet unlock = 2FA. Device fingerprint = account binding. No additional facial recognition ML calls (eliminates $0.10-$0.25/tap cost). Setup-time ID barcode scan sufficient. New device = automatic re-verification. Zero operational bloat.
Fraud Detection + Audit Trail
Account-sharing patterns caught instantly (same device, multiple accounts in same geographic region). GPS spoofing defeated (physical proof NFC tap + device at location). Every verification logged cryptographically. Perfect for Uber Teen parent notifications + insurance liability protection.
8-Week BCS Pilot: Proof of Concept
Location: Bryan/College Station, TX
- Texas A&M = 50K+ daily rides
- 75 Uber Pro drivers (safety-focused)
- ~35K rides/week = 280K verifications
- 8 weeks: 2 setup + 4 active + 2 measurement
Success Criteria
- 95%+ verification success rate
- <300ms latency (Face ID included)
- 80%+ driver adoption + card carry
- 90%+ fraud detection accuracy
Pilot Cost: $30K
NFC stickers (300 units) + driver cards (75 units) = $3K-5K
Lambda + database + API compute (8 weeks) = $10K-12K
Driver recruitment + onboarding + monitoring = $12K-15K

Why This Works at Scale
- ✓Pilot proves model in 4 weeks (strong greenlight for national)
- ✓No per-tap ML = margins improve as volume grows (72% → 85%)
- ✓Same infrastructure scales to Lyft, Eats, autonomous (multi-platform revenue)
- ✓$500M+ fraud reduction = regulatory goodwill (faster expansion)
- ✓Verified rides + crypto trail unlock insurance discounts (driver + platform coverage incentive)
Part of a Larger Movement
Already Live: Service Pros
Lynk Verified powers identity verification for Angi, Thumbtack, TaskRabbit contractors. Same NFC + wallet infrastructure.
Result: 40+ NPS increase, 35% liability reduction, $50M+ annual savings.
Our Vision: Global 2FA Standard
Rideshare. Delivery. Healthcare. Autonomous. Every high-trust vertical needs the same neutral verification layer.
Your opportunity: Define the standard.
Why This Matters for Uber
- →Neutral Infrastructure: Built for multi-platform scale. Reduces verification opex.
- →Network Effects: As verification scales across industries, fraud detection improves. Uber benefits immediately.
- →Strategic Moat: Once standard, competitors must match. Uber leads the trend.
