TIO Networks Named One of Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies for Sixth Consecutive Year

VANCOUVER, Sept. 16, 2016 /CNW/ - TIO Networks Corp. (TSX-V: TNC, "TIO"), today announced that it made the 2016 PROFIT 500 list with five-year revenue growth of 125%. This is the sixth year in a row TIO has been listed among the country's most successful growth companies on the PROFIT 500 and PROFIT 200, with revenue growth each year exceeding 100 per cent year-over-year. 

Canadian Business and PROFIT ranked TIO Networks No. 382 on the 28^th annual PROFIT 500. Published in the October issue of Canadian Business and at PROFITguide.com, the PROFIT 500 lists Canada's strongest businesses based on their five-year revenue growth.

"Companies become a part of the PROFIT 500 through innovative thinking, smart strategy and sheer grit," says James Cowan, Editor-in-chief of PROFIT and Canadian Business. "These firms demonstrate what Canadian entrepreneurs can achieve, both at home and across the globe."

TIO has experienced monumental growth this past year with the acquisition of Softgate Systems, Inc., positioning the Company as the largest provider of walk-in bill payment services across North America, and the launch of TIO.com, the Company's first TIO branded direct-to-consumer web portal where consumers can pay common U.S. household bills quickly from any Internet enabled device.
