Currently all our branches are open, operating normal business hours. You can find out more by going to our Location Finder page.

We are able to accept your instructions by post. We can only make payments to a nominated bank account in your name. If we have not made a transfer to the account previously, please include evidence that it is your account (e.g. statement).

Remember to sign the request so we can verify your signature and enclose your passbook.

Postal requests should be sent to:

We will check your signature against our records and, if the request is for cash, we will call you to confirm the request using a number we have on file.

We stopped accepting applications for a new or further deferral related to COVID-19 on 31 March 2021. Payment deferrals will cease on 31 July 2021.

Help is available if you still aren’t able to make your payments. Please contact us as soon as possible if you are nearing the end of your deferral and your financial situation is either unchanged or has worsened.
