NAB welcomes the commencement of the Australian Government’s $1 billion Economic Resilience Program (ERP), delivered by the National Reconstruction Fund and run in partnership with participating banks including NAB.
The program provides zero‑interest loans to eligible Australian businesses that have been materially impacted by market disruptions related to the current conflict in the Middle East.
Under the ERP, eligible businesses in identified priority sectors may be able to access zero-interest loans administered by participating banks. The loans are designed to help businesses manage rising costs associated with disruptions including fuel, fertiliser, plastics and other businesses that play a critical role in Australia’s supply chains.
NAB Business Banking customers can call 13 10 12 or get in touch with their banker to apply or find out if eligible. This loan will be subject to availability and is subject to change or may be withdrawn at any time.
NAB encourages any business under pressure to have a conversation with their banker early. Even if they're unsure what support might be right, talking it through can help clarify the options available, whether through government support or other banking solutions..
