January the 1st, 2021 – Zagrebacka banka has donated the generous sum of one million kuna to the victims of the tragic Petrinja earthquake which struck Petrinja, Glina, Sisak and other areas across central Croatia recently.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, in order to help residents of the earthquake-affected areas whose homes were destroyed, Zagrebacka banka will donate one million kuna to the Croatian Red Cross, which will direct the donation to those who are the most in need of help.
Along with financial assistance to residents, Zagrebacka banka will provide clients who had a residence or headquarters in Sisak-Moslavina County on the day of the earthquake, in the period from the 31st of December, 2020 to the 28th of February, 2021, with the temporary suspension of any collection measures, which includes the temporary suspension of the execution of standing orders and direct debits, without the collection of additional costs and the calculation of default interest in that period.
Zagrebacka banka will provide more permanent measures to clients affected by the Petrinja earthquake in the coming period in the form of a moratorium on loan repayment. The bank has stated that it plans to inform clients in more detail about all of the assistance measures on offer and the conditions of their application on the official Zagrebacka banka website.
“Aware of the role we have in supporting the community in which we operate, we’re doing everything we can to help those who need help the most at the moment. In these difficult moments, we sympathise with all the victims of the devastating earthquake that hit central Croatia, and especially those who lost their loved ones,” said Romeo Collina, President of the Management Board of Zagrebacka banka.
Many employees of Zagrebacka banka have personally participated in numerous organised humanitarian actions and are helping the residents of the affected areas. Zagrebacka banka would like to thank all employees of the emergency and rescue services, as well as all people from all over Croatia, who once again showed how big their hearts truly are and united in helping those who have suffered losses.
