~ Credit union to expand member-centric digital banking and full-suite cash management for small- and medium-sized businesses ~

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Digital banking solutions provider Tyfone, today announced that O Bee Credit Union (O Bee) has selected the nFinia® Digital Banking Platform for both retail and business members. The credit union cited the platform’s member-centric design, comprehensive business banking capabilities, advanced money movement features and self-service tools as primary drivers in its decision.

Headquartered in Washington state with approximately $650 million in assets, O Bee operates six branches across the state, serving more than 36,000 members. The credit union is migrating from its legacy digital banking platform to nFinia to provide members a more modernized, digital-first experience including a single-sign on for all accounts, configurable, third-party options and advanced, AI-powered search capabilities. O Bee has experienced a surge in growth from small business owners in the state and nFinia will provide those members a full-suite of cash management features and QR code-based instant payments.

“We consider ourselves service obsessed and unapologetically unique,” said Jenni Roberts, Chief Experience Officer, O Bee Credit Union. “Our member-service culture is one of our key differentiators, and we were looking for a digital banking partner that shares those same values. It was immediately clear that Tyfone’s culture aligns with ours and that this was going to be a colloborative partnership versus a traditional vendor agreement.”

With nFinia, O Bee members gain a unified, mobile-first experience that simplifies how they view and manage accounts, move money and access financial tools. For business members, the platform offers enhanced treasury and cash-management capabilities, including user permission controls and improved payment options designed to support day-to-day operations.

Roberts continued, “O Bee has grown rapidly over the years, including the number of small businesses that trust the credit union for all of their financial needs. Tyfone’s platform focuses on intuitive design and powerful money-movement capabilities and that will put more financial tools directly in our members’ hands.”

Tyfone’s nFinia Digital Banking platform delivers an intuitive, AI-powered banking experience including smarter personalization tools, instant payments, and secure transactions. The platform’s configurable, open, API-driven infrastructure enables O Bee to seamlessly integrate with third-party applications, providing members access to financial wellness tools, budgeting features, and advanced payment capabilities, all within one app.

“The intuitive user interface and built-in search functionality also stood out to us, because it makes everyday banking tasks simple and accessible,” said Elizabeth Xayavongsa, Director of Member Experience, O Bee Credit Union. “This will significantly improve how members interact with the credit union digitally. It’s going to be a transformative improvement for both our members and our team.”

O Bee will also deploy Skip-A-Pay and Quick Pay solutions, which automate loan payment deferral and multi-source loan payments, putting greater financial control directly into members’ hands while creating new revenue streams for the credit union.

“As O Bee Credit Union continues its impressive growth and deepens its commitment to serving everyday working families and local businesses, we are thrilled that Tyfone was selected as a trusted partner,” said Siva Narendra, CEO of Tyfone. “Like O Bee, Tyfone is unapologetically committed to our clients. We’re not your typical software provider, our approach is different with a purpose. Our team is fully aligned with the unique business goals of each credit union and community bank we support, collaborating to ensure maximum results and future success.”
