NAB General Manager for Retail Victoria, Mary Scoutas, said the coming weeks will be a difficult time for people in the affected areas and her thoughts were with them.
“We are here to support all NAB customers, employees and the wider community. Anyone who needs assistance or advice can contact us so we can discuss their circumstances and work out the best way to help,” Ms Scoutas said.
