NAB is providing $1,000 grants and additional financial relief to customers severely impacted by the bushfires in the Grampians region in Western Victoria, to assist them in the immediate aftermath.
The grants will help NAB customers who have suffered significant damage to their home, farm or business, cover emergency expenses.
Regional Customer Executive Karen Ford said a range of support measures - from grants to loan payment deferrals and other relief measures - were in place to help NAB customers left devastated by the fires.
"To those families, communities and businesses in Western Victoria who have suffered damage to their homes, farms and premises: we are here to help," Ms Ford said.
"This will be a testing time for our communities and we're standing by them, providing immediate assistance, and making $1,000 grants available to help those most affected.
"NAB customers impacted in the Western Victoria region are encouraged to contact us as soon as possible."
Further support is available for NAB customers directly impacted, including:
- Loan deferral or reduced repayment arrangements for home, personal and some business loans.
- Hardship support for customers struggling to make minimum monthly payments on personal loans, home loans or credit cards.
- Deferring upcoming credit card payments.
- Waiving and/or refunding fees and charges, including merchant terminal fees and early access fees to term deposits.
- NAB colleagues who have been evacuated from their place of residence or cut off from support services can also access funds to assist with accessing temporary accommodation and everyday essentials.
