Banking Relief Package for clients impacted by COVID-19

Package eligibility



If your BOQ Specialist business lending facilities are up to date, you may be eligible to access our Banking Relief Package. Once you have submitted your application, a member of our team will contact you either with written confirmation of the changes to your facility or to request more information to better understand your situation and discuss your options.

Package deferral period

BOQ Specialist's Banking Relief Package gives eligible clients the option of deferring your business loan repayments for a period up to four months.

If you are already accessing our Banking Relief Package and you are not in a position to start making your repayments when your initial repayment deferral period expires, you may be able to apply for an extension. We’ll discuss this option with you when we check-in throughout your deferral period.

Alternatively, if you would like to discuss your options sooner, you can contact your local finance specialist or our dedicated team on 1300 160 160 .

The financial consequences of deferring your loan repayments


It's important to understand that while you are deferring your repayments, interest will continue to accrue on your loan balance. Your loan balance will increase as interest is added to the loan, which means you may end up paying more.

To reduce the total amount you will need to repay over the term of your loan, it’s a good idea to return to making your regular repayments as soon as your circumstances allow. You can also choose to make repayments of any amount to your loan at any time during your repayment deferral period. These repayments will not affect your access to BOQ Specialist’s Banking Relief Package.
