Ghostpass Achieves Three-Peat at CES 2026 Fintech Innovation Awards

GhostPass, a leader in the fintech security sector, has once again captured global attention. They made a spectacular achievement by winning the Innovation Award in the FinTech category at CES, the world's largest consumer electronics and IT exhibition, in 2026, marking their third consecutive year to claim this honorable title. The star behind this prestigious award is GhostPass's ambitious creation, the 'GhostPass CityFlow – Seamless ID & Payment Experience' solution. This is an innovative authentication and payment system that integrates identity verification and payment into a single, flowing, natural experience, all without storing any personal information on a central server. The core of GhostPass CityFlow is its perfect guarantee of 'personal data sovereignty'. Instead of storing data on a central server, all authentication processes are securely handled solely within the user's device. Thanks to on-device technology, users no longer need to launch an app, present a card, or tag a device; they can complete identity verification and payment simultaneously and perfectly with just a single biometric scan. This innovative experience has the potential to expand infinitely into almost all offline environments that constitute our daily lives, from public transportation and hospitals to financial services and retail stores. Security is the reason for GhostPass's existence. Even in the unfortunate event of losing a smartphone, there's no need to worry. GhostPass CityFlow completely blocks the possibility of misuse and unauthorized access by immediately and thoroughly deleting original biometric data via its CI value (unique user identification information) deletion function. This provides users with the highest level of privacy protection and peace of mind. GhostPass's capabilities are not limited to CES awards alone. Already in 2025, they proudly secured the title of 'No. 1 Best Company' selected by Samsung Card within Samsung Financial Group's startup incubation program, C-Lab Outside, thereby proving their technology and potential. Furthermore, they achieved another remarkable feat by being selected as the No. 1 company in the cybersecurity sector for the national project 'Super Gap 1,000+ Cybersecurity Network,' organized by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. This unequivocally proves that GhostPass is truly the nation's leading fintech cybersecurity specialized company. Lee Seon-kwan, CEO of GhostPass, emphasized about this innovation: "GhostPass CityFlow goes beyond mere technology; it will break down the existing boundaries of authentication and payment, presenting an entirely new financial security paradigm that simultaneously maximizes personal data protection and user convenience." GhostPass is redefining the standards of future financial experiences and ushering in a new era, all while safeguarding individual freedom and security in the digital world.
