Tyro celebrates 20 years as a trailblazing Australian fintech

Tyro Payments Limited (Tyro) marks its 20^th birthday today, celebrating its fintech roots, technology vision for the future, and over $150 billion in transactions since being founded. 
 
“For 20 years, Tyro has helped thousands of Australian businesses grow and thrive and as of today, we have over 66,000 customers – each a reason to celebrate,” said Tyro CEO Jon Davey. 
 
Current Board Chair David Thodey, members of the Board, special guests, and past and current employees will mark the occasion at the company’s Sydney offices today. 
 
“We are proud to celebrate Tyro’s 20^th birthday because of the company’s focus on being an innovative and proudly Australian fintech, committed to delivering great products and customer service to Australian businesses,” said David Thodey ahead of the event. 
 
Founded in 2003 by entrepreneurs Paul Wood, Peter Haig, and Andrew Rothwell, Tyro has a track record of innovation, creating purpose-built solutions, and being first to market – including the first technology company to receive an Australian specialist credit card institution licence in 2005.  
 
On becoming a public company in 2019, Tyro had the largest successful IPO by market capitalisation on the ASX that year. Tyro has grown to 600 employees across Australia, approximately half of whom are in technology roles. 
 
“At the heart of Tyro is technology and I’m excited for the product leadership and innovation we’re continuing to deliver in 2023 – including Tyro Go, Tyro Pro, and our new digital onboarding platform,” added Jon Davey. 
 
“From Australia’s largest EFTPOS provider outside the big four, to streamlined business lending and banking products, I’m proud of how Tyro is powering the future of payments and business, both now and into the future.” 
 
“We are committed to continuing this spirit of innovation, customer service, and product leadership as we plan for the decades ahead,” added Tyro’s incoming Board Chair, Fiona Pak-Poy.
