Big banks offer business relief

The banks have revived emergency settings for business customers as the nation remains in the midst of a lockdown. 

ANZ's managing director of business banking Lorraine Mapu said most business clients were in a good position during the latest crisis. 

“The feedback we’re getting from customers is that most are in good shape and are able to weather limited Covid-19 restrictions. However, they are looking at what longer restrictions will mean for their businesses and are making plans for how they will get through.

“We are reintroducing relief measures that we had in place during previous lockdowns so businesses can take advantage of them quickly if they need to.”
