In February, we were proud to support the Banking Reverse Pitch, led by FinTech Australia alongside Westpac, ANZ and 1835i. This initiative, born from our collaboration with FinTech Australia and NSW Treasury, aimed to help fintechs solve key banking issues like sustainability and fraud and scams. Out of 103 applicants, both banks shortlisted candidates to explore working together. Westpac recently chose Cogo as their finalist, and they’ll be launching two exciting pilots: a home energy tool to help consumers lower their energy bills and a tool for businesses to track and reduce their carbon footprint. Congratulations to Westpac and Cogo on this fantastic partnership! 👏
