What hardship assistance options are there for Rural Bank clients?

Options may include:

• Debt consolidation, typically resulting in a longer loan with more manageable repayments.
• Consolidating debt to a term loan, effectively extending the repayment period and reducing repayments to a more manageable level at a lower interest rate.
• Waiving term deposit break fees
• Re-aligning cash flow expectations to better match current economic and seasonal circumstances.
