Commonwealth Bank is providing its Emergency Assistance to customers and businesses in flood affected areas in New South Wales.
CBA’s Executive General Manager, Everyday Banking, Kate Crous, said: “We know some areas have been impacted by flooding earlier this year and it’s a distressing time for these communities to experience this multiple times. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by the major flooding in communities across New South Wales and we want our customers to know we are here to help. Dangerous conditions like this can cause a lot of concern and we want to alleviate some of that worry by offering a range of support measures to impacted customers.”
We understand that each customer will have different needs and we encourage those affected to discuss their individual circumstances with us by either phoning 1800 314 695 or visiting their nearest Commonwealth Bank branch.
Special arrangements are in place to provide support to our Commonwealth Bank and CommInsure customers should they need it, and our staff are ready to assist them with any financial concerns or enquiries.
