About Tyfone
Tyfone’s Mission
The Tyfone Story
Founded in 2004 by Siva Narendra, Prabhakar Tadepalli and Tom Spitzer, under the premise “We believe in the power of the digitally connected world, but one needs digital trust for the connected world to become increasingly valuable.”
We first applied this concept to the world of mobile banking transactions when smartphones were anticipated to gain traction.
Our early work was done with the likes of Google, First Data, and the Department of Defense, focused on conveniently securing the identity of a digital user to enable transactions such as mobile payments.
We had recognized our calling to secure online banking for the everyday consumer. Working alongside a handful of innovative credit unions (including two $10B in assets) tyfone launched our mobile banking platform. Leveraging our knowledge of convenience and user experience coupled with strong security, we relied on the expertise of our partners to bring our first iteration of mobile banking to life.
A decade later, we threw the proverbial hand grenade at our “mobile only “solution and rebuilt our platform from scratch to be a modern, scalable, omnichannel solution that provides online banking services on any device, for both our retail banking customers and business banking clients.
The new platform considers that user experience is critical for consumers as well as employees of our customers. Our solution envisions innovation in digital services as consumer digital interactions evolve (AI, augmented reality, virtual branches).
Tyfone’s founding team members are inventors with more than 130 patents including several in financial services, that by themselves have attracted tens of million dollars in investments.

Everyone builds features, not everyone builds relationships. We Build Both.
At the heart of tyfone lies the unshakable belief in community-minded collaboration, working with our customers as partners. We deliver fintech level innovation and believe digital banking must advance at the pace of digital, not at the pace of banking.
We stay true to our roots by growing judiciously, focusing on scaling our business while servicing our customers with the high-touch collaborative relationship that their retail and business banking customers expect.
Our motto is “everyone builds features, not everyone builds relationships.” These relationships guide our product features and our roadmaps to ensure we bring maximum gains to our customers with the best experience for theirs.
