Banks offer support to flood-hit farm businesses

Some banks and building societies are offering financial support to agricultural customers affected by recent storms and flooding, including interest-free temporary loans and overdrafts.

Farm businesses hit by flooding should contact their local bank representative to find out if they may be eligible for any support measures.

For example, NatWest Bank is offering affected customers loan repayment holidays, interest rate reductions, overdraft facilities, and temporary emergency loans with no fees.
