Yes, members are collaborating closer with each other and also members are a part of BRICS Development Bank which is basically a international bank for all members. I guess you could consider BRICS the closest thing to a rival of G7, but that's of course a simplification, the structures are different.

> collaborating closer
People and countries collaborate on things all the time, not necessarily because of a consultative organization they happen to be in.
It's more likely that those countries, they collaborate with each other "despite BRICS", or "despite G7" that because of it.

But the same countries are also part of the International Monetary Fund, a kind-of-bank that is more or less the "G7 Bank" (G7 countries usually hold large ammounts of XDR votes in the IMF) and much more important.
