The grants will help NAB customers who have suffered significant damage to their home, farm or business, cover emergency expenses.
NAB Retail Executive NT, Beata Brennan, said a range of support measures, from grants to loan payment deferrals and other relief measures, were in place to help NAB customers left devastated by the floods.
“These floods are having an impact on families, businesses and communities across the Northern Territory’s Victoria Daly region,” Ms Brennan said.
“We know people need help as quickly as possible. That’s why we’re providing $1,000 Disaster Relief Grants to assist with immediate essentials such as temporary accommodation, clothing and food. We’ve also put additional support measures in place, including loan repayment deferrals and fee waivers, to help relieve financial pressure during what is a very difficult time for many affected communities.”
