Uber Technologies has partnered with Israel's AU10TIX, a global identity verification and authentication platform, to implement a program in cities in Mexico, Argentina and Chile that helps verify the identity of new riders who choose cash as their preferred method of payment. The program leverages AU10TIX's proprietary technology to build trust between rider and driver.
The new program requires certain users who request to pay in cash to scan an official identification such as their voting credentials, national ID, passport or driver's license for verification.

"In the current business climate, more drivers and riders are wanting added reassurance for cash payment options, and we want to give them that," says Ron Atzmon, AU10TIX active deputy chairman.
"Working together with Uber, we are delivering on this with AU10TIX's identity document verification technology that provides the reliability, efficiency and scalability required to help provide peace of mind," Atzmon said.
