CBA named best in APAC for AI maturity

The bank was first on talent development and responsible AI leadership, the index said.

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) ranked first in Asia Pacific and fourth globally in terms of artificial intelligence (AI) maturity, based on the 2025 Evident AI Index of the banking sector.

The index— which benchmarks 50 global banks across talent, innovation, leadership, and transparency— ranked the Australian bank as first on talent development and responsible AI leadership.

CBA ranked fifth overall in the index in 2024.

The Australian bank attributed the ranking to its sustained investment in responsible AI.

“Our partnerships, platforms and people are the foundation of our AI strategy, and we’re focused on scaling our AI capability responsibly,” said Gavine Munroe, CommBank group chief information officer.
