TIO Networks Corp., (TSX-V: TNC) (“TIO”), North America’s leading bill pay technology provider, today announced it ranked on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500.™ In it’s 15^th year, Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 ranks the fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, and clean technology companies in North America. TIO attributes much of its 172 percent growth to increased demand for mobile bill pay and alternative financial services by America’s underbanked population.

“Demand for affordable and convenient financial services is growing, particularly amongst America’s rising underbanked population, which has long been overlooked by traditional banks,” said Hamed Shahbazi, Chairman and CEO of TIO Networks. “TIO strives to deliver this, leveraging its technology to create innovative solutions for everyday financial challenges.”

Often dealing with tight budgets, America’s underbanked population doesn’t have the funds to maintain traditional banking fees. However 48 percent of the estimated 68 million underbanked American’s own a smartphone and a growing number are utilizing mobile to make financial transactions. TIO’s mobile payment division recently announced it surpassed $100 million in mobile transactions since launching its payment platform last year.

“The 2012 Technology Fast 500 winners are true leaders who leverage their entrepreneurship and technological innovation to achieve strong growth,” said Richard Lee, National Leader, Technology, Media & Telecommunications Industry Group, Deloitte. “Their commitment and leadership continue to transform the technology sector.”
