ANZ Group Executive Australia Retail & Commercial Mark Hand said: “The decision by the Reserve Bank to reduce the cash rate to historically low levels highlights the significant impact the outbreak of COVID-19 is already having on the global economy.
“While there were a range of factors considered in making this decision, ANZ is prepared to play its role in supporting both our customers and the broader economy through this period of uncertainty.
“Customers wanting to increase the money in their pocket each month can contact us to decrease their monthly minimum payments. We also have competitive fixed-rates available for those looking to lock in these historically low rates,” Mr Hand said.
ANZ is also providing the necessary financial support to business customers experiencing hardship due to the outbreak of COVID-19. This includes suspending interest repayments, providing early access to term deposits without incurring break fees as well as providing access to additional credit.
