Getting you Back on Track
If you are experiencing hardship due to injury/ illness, changes in income, separation or events like natural disasters, Dnister has financial assistance solutions for an initial period of up to 3 months to help you get back on track.
Assistance is available to approved applicants in the following ways for a period of time:
Eligible Members may have the option to reduce or defer loan repayments for a period, allowing you to maintain some valuable funds for essential items.
By converting to interest-only arrangements you will no longer be required to pay the principal amount for a period providing more funds during hardship.
We will endeavor to assist Members on a case to case basis to review their requirements in relation to payment of any fees.
If Members require additional funds we will be able to provide special personal loans and rates.
How do I apply?
To get started complete an application form and let our team assess and recommend a payment arrangement or solution that is individual to you.
During your altered payment arrangement, interest continues to apply, but all late payment fees will be waived. The amount you normally pay, may be adjusted temporarily to a lower amount. When reducing this amount, it is important to know that you will need to make up the difference in the future by catching up with these payments over time, or your loan may be extended for a period.
We welcome Members to discuss their personal situation with our team by calling 1800 353 041.
Support for Small Businesses
Dnister has solutions for small businesses, with financial assistance by deferring your loan repayments for an initial period of up to 3 months. There is the option of also providing additional liquidity by obtaining an approved business loan or equity access facility, for businesses that have the capacity to pay and are able to secure additional funds. If your small business needs support please reach out to our team and ask for assistance.
