Hope this conference leads to real implementation. Our local cooperative bank still uses manual processes - digital transformation is much needed. Let's see if this brings actual change at ground level.

While I appreciate the initiative, I hope they address the governance issues that plague many cooperative banks. We need better regulation and transparency, not just digitalization. The focus should be on protecting depositors' money first.
