As I write this 2 of the 4 Major Banks have press releases on their websites offering support for the victims of Saturday's bushfires. ANZ is to provide a $10,000 grant to customers who have lost everything and $5,000 to those that have lost something. NAb is a little less specific but has a headline of establishing a $1m fund. I don't know if it is just that these are the two Melbourne based banks or whether they just care more - I'll leave that to the reader.
What I do know is that there are thousands of people hurting right now and to have one less thing to worry about, if only for a few months (ANZ provide a 3 month reprive from repayment if asked) will I am sure be welcomed.
What is less obvious is what to do if your business has been swallowed up by fire. In short though I would advise that you phone your bank as soon as practical, and if you are not receiving the answers that you believe you should, then Pearl Finance would be happy to assist you with your bank discussions at no charge to ensure that you get the very best opportunity to rebuild and grow from this horrific and tragic experience.
If you would like to talk through your circumstances, please do not hesitate call Nathan Keating on 0414 517 072.
