The partnership combines Sutherland’s financial services domain expertise and global presence with Tyfone’s proven ability to deliver mobile financial services and mobile payments functionality on a single platform – extending any banking product to any mobile phone on any operating system over any network.
The Sutherland-Tyfone combination is also expected to provide a means for delivering NFC contactless payment capabilities to customers via Tyfone’s u4ia pre-integrated mobile financial services platform.
Sutherland Global Services chairman and CEO Dilip Vellodi said Tyfone’s technology innovation in the mobile banking industry and expertise in helping financial institutions to leverage the benefits of the mobile platform perfectly complements Sutherland’s specialized services in various Financial Services segments.
Tyfone chief operating officer and co-founder Prabhakar Tadepalli said bringing their proven, patented technologies to Sutherland’s sterling record of providing streamlined, cost-saving financial services is an excellent partnership opportunity for Tyfone.
"Through the implementation of our u4ia platform with its available companion SideTap, Sutherland will be able to provide its customers with the tools necessary to deliver a robust mobile banking solution to their clientele, making trusted, feature-rich mobile banking a reality," Tadepalli said.
