HyreCar Launches Mobile Application Featuring Mitek Identity Verification Technology
HyreCar Mobile App for iOS and Android Now Available to Streamline
New Driver Onboarding
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HyreCar Inc. (NASDAQ: HYRE), the carsharing marketplace for ridesharing,
has launched the HyreCar mobile application for both Apple iOS and
Android devices to expedite the new driver onboarding and verification
process.
The application was developed with Mitek (NASDAQ: MITK), a leader in
identity verification technology, to allow interested drivers to easily
verify their identity when digitally applying to rent a car through
HyreCar’s new seamless mobile interface. Proven to reduce fraud, Mitek’s
technology is designed to expedite the booking and verification process
by 30 percent and lower ID document forgery in the verification process
by up to 20 percent. These technology enhancements have contributed to
HyreCar scaling annual rental days from under 400,000 for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2018 to an annualized run rate of over 550,000
rental days through the first two months of 2019.
“We are excited to launch the HyreCar mobile app for our drivers,” said
Joe Furnari, CEO of HyreCar. “Reducing friction in our customer
conversion channels is expected to accelerate revenue to the top and
bottom lines. At the same time, risk reduction through the Mitek
integration is expected to enable scale and reduce overhead costs.
Overall, our approach to leveraging technology solutions in this new
ecosystem of Mobility as a Service has made us an industry leader,
moving thoughtfully and deliberately toward our future vision of
personal transportation.”
“Empowering a good user experience while verifying new driver identities
is the core focus of our partnership with HyreCar,” said Max Carnecchia,
CEO of Mitek. “We’re committed to providing both trust and convenience
with each digital transaction and are thrilled to be supporting HyreCar
in their mission to safely, securely and seamlessly onboard more
rideshare drivers.”
