Bankwest has activated its emergency assistance package for customers and businesses in flood-affected areas in New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania.
Our thoughts are with everyone impacted, and we thank the emergency services and volunteers who are working tirelessly to protect the community.
Bankwest understands that each customer will have unique needs and support requirements, and our Financial Assistance team is ready to help, with special arrangement options available.
To support our affected customers, our Financial Assistance team can discuss a range of options:
- personalised solutions if you’ve got a loan, like changing the repayment arrangements
- restructuring your business loan without having to worry about the usual bank establishment fees
- reviewing credit card payments if you’ve got good standing, including requests for emergency limit increases (subject to credit approval)
- waiving pre-payment penalties over the next month if you’d like to access term deposits
- waiving other selected fees and charges.
