TORONTO, March 18, 2020 /CNW/ - With the evolving COVID-19 situation, Canada's leading digital bank, Tangerine, is focused on the wellbeing of our Clients, communities and employees. We're taking steps to ensure our Clients are taken care of with a new financial relief program for those who are impacted by COVID-19, effective today. Through the program, Tangerine will offer Clients impacted by COVID-19 special assistance, including Tangerine Mortgage payment deferrals of up to six months.
Helping our Clients
We're committed to being here for our Clients. We know every situation is different, so will work with Clients who have been impacted by COVID-19 on a case-by-case basis to help identify ways to ease their financial burden. Tangerine Clients can call our 24/7 Contact Centre at 1-888-826-4374 or go to tangerine.ca/COVID19 for more information. The relief program is offered as an extension of similar measures announced by our parent company, Scotiabank®.
"It is times like these we need to come together and provide support however we can, which is why we've decided to offer this support to our Clients and will continually assess what relief measures are available," said Gillian Riley, President & CEO, Tangerine Bank.
In addition, Tangerine offers Clients added peace of mind as the largest digital bank in Canada. And as a subsidiary of Scotiabank, Tangerine provides Clients with free access to over 3,500 ABMs in the Scotiabank® network and the security of CDIC coverage for eligible deposits.
