Rajendra Awasthi, CEO and Co-Founder, captured the room’s attention by detailing how Ezee.ai’s AI-driven capabilities are compressing product launch timelines from months to mere days. The shift, he explained, is more than operational acceleration; it is a redefinition of how community banks respond to customer needs with agility, accuracy, and regulatory confidence.
Over the course of the conference, the Ezee.ai team engaged with executives, product leaders, and operations heads from across Australia’s financial ecosystem. Discussions went beyond product demonstrations, delving into practical strategies for accelerating credit decisioning, strengthening portfolio health through smarter collections, and designing lending experiences that are both efficient and empathetic. These exchanges reflected a shared understanding that the sector’s transformation is not solely about adopting technology, but about aligning every innovation with the principles that define community banking.
As the final sessions closed in Brisbane, the takeaway was clear. COBA 2025 was not just a showcase of emerging tools and solutions; it was a reminder that progress in banking is defined by the ability to act quickly without losing sight of purpose. For Ezee.ai, the event reaffirmed its mission to equip financial institutions with the intelligence, agility, and trust frameworks they need to lead in a rapidly evolving market. The path ahead for mutuals and credit unions is one of decisive transformation, and the question is no longer whether to move forward, but how rapidly they can take the lead.
