GhostPass Wins CES 2026 Fintech Innovation Award

GhostPass (CEO Seon-Kwan Lee) , a fintech cybersecurity company, won a CES Innovation Award in the Fintech category at CES 2026. This marks GhostPass' third consecutive CES Innovation Award win.

This year's CES award-winning product, GhostPass CityFlow – Seamless ID & Payment Experience, is an authentication and payment solution that integrates identity authentication and payment into a single flow without storing personal data on servers. Its key feature is that all authentication is processed on the user's device, eliminating the need for central server storage, completely protecting personal data sovereignty.

CityFlow, utilizing on-device technology, enables simultaneous authentication and payment using biometrics alone, without the need for apps, card presentations, or device contact. This technology can be expanded to various offline environments, including public transportation, hospitals, financial services, and retail stores.

Additionally, it includes a function to prevent misuse and unauthorized use of original biometric data by deleting the user's unique identification information (CI value) when the smartphone is lost.

“GhostPass CityFlow will present a new financial security paradigm that blurs the lines between authentication and payment, simultaneously enhancing personal information protection and user experience,” said CEO Lee Seon-gwan.
