For their home loan customers who have been granted a six month home loan deferral, they will make a one-time payment to offset interest on interest costs during the six month deferral period.
They also understand some of their customers have been unable to make their minimum credit card repayments in March. They’ll automatically be refunding the late fees and interest for any customers who were unable to make their minimum repayment in March.
