NAB Group Executive Business and Private Banking, Andrew Irvine, welcomed the additional flood-recovery support announced by the Federal Government and NSW Government today.

“NAB has around 70,000 customers in the regions that have been hit by the floods – and we’re providing a range of support measures including $2,000 cash grants, as part of a $3 million fund.

“We are pleased to support the extension of the Federal Government’s SME Recovery Loan Scheme to those impacted by the floods. In addition to clean-up assistance, it will provide them with the capital to restock and rebuild for the long-term.

“Together, we can help get affected businesses and communities back on their feet, sooner.”

Businesses can now register their interest for a SME Recovery Loan with NAB.
