Innovative Digital Banking - Tyfone

27 minutes

"Instant payments are going to improve member experiences and better meet expectations." - Dr. Siva Narendra

Thank you for tuning in to The CUInsight Network, with your host, Robbie Young, Vice President of Strategic Growth at CUInsight. In The CUInsight Network, we take a deeper dive with the thought leaders who support the credit union community. We discuss issues and challenges facing credit unions and identify best practices to learn and grow together.

My guest on today’s show is Dr. Siva Narendra, CEO at Tyfone, who joins me to help explore the fascinating intersection of technology, security, and digital banking. Siva shares how he dreamed of being an artist, but his passion for problem-solving led him down a path involving engineering, energy-efficient systems, mobile payments, and ultimately to Tyfone.

During our conversation, we discuss how Tyfone has become a leader in creating secure, frictionless experiences for credit unions and their members. Siva also shares how the company takes on challenges such as account takeover fraud, instant payments, and using A.I. for smarter, more intuitive member experiences.
You’ll hear about Tyfone’s groundbreaking use of deterministic security, which greatly decreases the risk of fraud while maintaining user-friendliness, as well as Tyfone's leadership in instant payments via tools such as FedNow.

As we wrap up the episode, Siva talks about the tech leader who resonates most with him and how he’s excited to play around with NVIDIA’s agentic A.I. devices. He also talks about his favorite city (other than Portland) and shares his best life hack for work-life balance. Enjoy my conversation with Dr. Siva Narendra!
