Bankwest is providing Emergency Assistance for customers affected by flooding in the Kimberley.
Our thoughts are with everyone impacted, and we appreciate the emergency services personnel and volunteers who are working tirelessly to support the community.
Emergency Assistance options
We’re ready to help customers with any concerns or questions in the event of a natural disaster.
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.
