ANZ has announced a financial relief package for customers and businesses affected by the recent flooding in Central and South East New South Wales. The floods have led to severe conditions, prompting evacuations as water levels rise.
The bank encourages those impacted to reach out when safe to discuss available relief measures. These include short-term payment relief on various loans, waiving fees for restructuring business loans, and early access to term deposits without penalties.
Michael Wake, ANZ General Manager for New South Wales, stated: “These floods have already forced tens of thousands out of their homes and businesses. We urge people to continue to monitor the ongoing situation, stay safe and look after one another.” He also expressed gratitude towards emergency services personnel and volunteers working tirelessly during this crisis.
As conditions improve, ANZ invites affected customers to contact them for assistance in recovery efforts. Customers can visit local branches or speak with relationship managers about their specific situations. For more information on branch operations, individuals can visit the ANZ website.
Additionally, those with ANZ Home and Contents Insurance might qualify for emergency funds and temporary housing. For financial hardship support or insurance claims, customers are directed to specific contact numbers provided by ANZ.
