ANZ extends fire relief package nationwide
Bushfire relief packages have been announced by ANZ to help those in bushfire-affected areas across Australia.
The package involves the possibility to suspend repayment loans, including for credit cards, for up to three months and relief on interest rates.
Fees may also be waived for those who need to restructure business loans or access term deposits early.
Packages had previously been announced only for fire-affected customers in NSW and Queensland.
The bank has also extended special leave for employees volunteering for emergency services, acknowledging they may need to spend more time in the field this year.
