ATB Financial launches COVID-19 relief program

Mar 18, 2020 | 8:15 PM

ATB Financial is joining the likes of other banks across the country in offering additional help for people dealing with the significant impacts of COVID-19.

Starting immediately, customers will be able to apply for deferred payments for mortgages, personal and business loans.

Officials say ATB Financial is rolling out a customer relief program to help Albertans through these challenging times.

“We are in uncharted territory as our focus shifts to stopping the spread of Covid-19 for the good of our families, friends, neighbours and the rest of the world,” says Curtis Stange, president and CEO of ATB Financial, in a release. “Our credit relief program is designed to support Albertans and help you focus on what matters most—your health and your family.”

“At ATB, our first priority is the well-being of our customers, team members and community,” continues Stange. “On top of our credit relief program, we have adjusted the way we work to prevent the spread of Covid-19 by limiting operating hours and introducing temporary closures, eliminating all unnecessary travel and supporting team members to work from home.”
