About TAVEN

Who We Are

TAVEN is a veteran-founded financial-technology company created to modernize how service members and their families manage money. Founded by Timothy Birdette, a U.S. Navy Information Professional Officer with over 19 years of service, TAVEN was built on the same principles that guide the military—integrity, precision, and trust.

Our Mission

To deliver verified, fee-free payments and automatic military discounts inside one secure ecosystem. TAVEN makes every transaction a salute—connecting verified military members, veterans, and supporters through a trusted digital financial space.

Our Vision

To redefine financial reliability by making trust the standard. We envision a world where military families never have to prove who they are at checkout, pay hidden transfer fees, or worry about the safety of their data.

What We Offer

• Verified Identity: instant confirmation through ID.me or equivalent DoD-approved credentials.

• Fee-Free Transfers: send and receive money securely with no hidden charges.

• Automatic Discounts: partnered merchants automatically apply verified military pricing—no ID required.

• TAVEN Card (coming soon): a unified debit card for seamless, verified payments worldwide.

Why It Matters

Frequent moves, deployments, and unpredictable schedules make financial life harder for military families. TAVEN eliminates friction by combining the accuracy of fintech with the discipline of service, so our community can keep more of what they earn and spend with confidence.

• Defense-grade encryption & data protection

• Transparent pricing

• Veteran-led integrity in every decision
