Banking Relief Package for clients impacted by COVID-19

If you have been affected by COVID-19 and you have not accessed our Banking Relief Package, you may be eligible for assistance. We will assess your application based on your financial position.

If you are already accessing our Banking Relief Package and you are not in the position to start making repayments when your initial repayment deferral period expires, you may be able to apply for additional assistance. A little extra time or a more tailored solution could be the right option to help you get back on track.

The financial consequences of deferring your loan repayments

It's important to understand that while you are deferring your repayments, interest will continue to accrue on your loan balance. Your loan balance will increase as interest is added to the loan, which means you may end up paying more.

To reduce the total amount you will need to repay over the term of your loan, it’s a good idea to return to making your regular repayments as soon as your circumstances allow. You can also choose to make repayments of any amount to your loan at any time during your repayment deferral period. These repayments will not affect your access to BOQ Specialist’s Banking Relief Package.
