Charles Mallon, CEO of the Congressional FCU, said, "Our members have been delighted with the fast and easy sign-up for the Clear service at our convenient branch location. Our partnership with Clear has not only provided a discount for our members but reduced the time they spend waiting in airport lines."

Pentagon FCU CEO Frank Pollack said, "The agreement with Clear will allow our members to not only save time at the airport using express lanes, but also when enrolling, which they can do right at the Credit Union's office within the Pentagon."

Steven Brill, Clear's CEO said, "The demand for a registered traveler program in Washington, DC is as high as in San Francisco, San Jose, and New York where Clear is already operating. It makes good business sense for us to open our enrollment stations in the D.C.-area now. The locations at the federal credit union branches will provide the nation's public servants with easy access to enrollment, and so that they will receive their cards by the time the programs launch at Reagan or Dulles airports.

Clear cards are currently accepted at Albany, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, LaGuardia, Little Rock, New York's JFK, Newark, Orlando, Reno, San Francisco, San Jose and Westchester County (N.Y.) airports, and soon, Denver. The Denver Airport recently chose Clear after completing its extensive competitive bidding process, to launch the express security lanes early next year, the company said. As part of its nationwide marketing efforts, Clear was scheduled to open its first enrollment station in Denver on Dec. 3, through a partnership with Hyatt, at the Hyatt Regency Tech Center.
