    The Customer Owned Banking Association (COBA), the industry body for Australia's mutual banks and credit unions, appointed Yasser El-Ansary as its chief executive officer, taking the helm on 2 November 2026. El-Ansary, previously CEO of the Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINSIA), succeeds Michael Lawrence, who retires after nine years leading the body.
