As heavy rain impacts North Island regions, ASB provides financial support options for affected customers facing money concerns.
Tailored support for personal, farming, and business customers impacted by the extreme weather will be offered. Assessed case by case, options include:
- Deferring loan repayments for up to three months or interest only for three months.
- Immediate consideration of requests for emergency credit card limit increases.
- Tailored solutions for eligible ASB business and rural customers including access to working capital of up to $100,000.
“We understand this will be a tough time for many communities, and we encourage any personal, business or farming customers who are worried about money as a result of the severe weather to please get in touch. Our teams have practical options available and we’re here to help,” ASB Executive General Manager for Personal Banking Adam Boyd said.
BNZ has also announced support for customers impacted by the severe weather events. Customers in Northland, Hauraki, Bay of Plenty, and Thames-Coromandel District, who’ve all declared states of emergency due to severe weather, can access the support package.
