The Bendigo Bank NSW Flood Appeal has been launched which will raise funds to support affected communities impacted by the devastating floods.
Bendigo Bank corporate affairs executive Alexandra Gartmann said the funds raised by the appeal will support recovery in the immediate aftermath of the floods and in the short, medium and long term.
"Our thoughts are with those communities and individuals impacted by the extensive flooding," she said.
"The bank's NSW flood appeal provides all Australians with a formal avenue through which they can directly support and help flood-affected communities.
Ms Gartmann said the funds raised will be directed to support recovery in practical ways.
"Monetary donations are more effective and logistically, provide far more flexibility than donations of material items or pre-loved goods," she said.
The bank has also launched a flood assistance package.
Ms Gartmann said the bank will be offering home loan and business loan customers relief for up to three months during the recovery process.
"The package includes discounted interest rates, fee waivers, and other concessions and we're working hard to make sure all claims are managed as quickly as possible," she said.
"Responding to insurance claims is a high priority as is assisting people with the clean-up operation to help get them back into their homes and businesses as quickly as possible.
"We have assessors available to help customers through this process."
Affected Bendigo Bank customers are advised to speak with their local branch manager, business banking manager or contact our Mortgage Help Centre on 1300 652 146 regarding financial hardship and applying for assistance or visit here.
