Business banking support for clients impacted by COVID-19

Helping your business through these difficult times 

We understand the importance of helping you manage your cash flow through these challenging times. Your dedicated financial specialist understands you and your business, and has the authority to customise solutions for you. We are ready to respond to general enquiries, as well as more complicated restructures.

 

Business banking support:

Here are a few of the ways we will continue to help you manage your practice.

Banking Relief Package

If you have been affected by COVID-19 and you have not accessed our Banking Relief Package, you may be eligible for assistance. We will assess your application based on your financial position.

If you are already accessing our Banking Relief Package and you are not in the position to start making repayments when your initial repayment deferral period expires, you may be able to apply for additional assistance. A little extra time or a more tailored solution could be the right option to help you get back on track.
