Australia’s four largest banks have introduced support measures for customers impacted by the Victoria bushfires in January 2026.
ANZ, Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), National Australia Bank (NAB), and Westpac announced assistance packages that include deferrals or reduced repayments on home loans and credit cards.
The banks have also waived certain fees and charges across selected products and services.
NAB, for instance, is offering A$1,000 grants along with further financial assistance to eligible customers affected by the fires.
Westpac said its business clients can seek short-term cash flow support through temporary overdrafts at discounted interest rates, with limits of up to A$15,000 for small businesses and A$50,000 for larger enterprises.
Meanwhile, ANZ and CBA are allowing customers to access term deposits early without incurring fees.
