ASB bank comes to Troubled Traveler’s Rescue

ASB Bank has announced to help travelers who were affected by the volcanic eruption in Iceland.

The bank feels that the delay in travel would have created a lot of money problems for travelers which they had never thought about. The financial stress is highly taxing. Taking all this into consideration the bank has decided to make temporary extensions to overdraft or credit card facilities subject to normal lending policies. The bank will not charge the fees for late payments also because of the disruption.

The ASB bank account holders are delighted to hear this news. They can beat the financial issues without worrying much about the repayments. They just need to call on the bank’s dedicated help line or visit the bank to avail the service.

Passengers are not alone hit by financial losses; Air New Zealand has suffered a loss of around $2.5 million.

Immigration New Zealand said it would put aside fees for people who had to apply for permits to remain in New Zealand due to flight delays because of the disruption. The basic fees would not be charged to people whose visas were expired during the one week flight break.

Looks like money is not what people are expecting to make during this crisis situation. It is more about safety and convenience of travelers at this point of time
