In order to mitigate the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, PBZ enables the deferral of payment (moratorium) for all loan users with regular payments who have experienced a deterioration of their financial situation or total revenue loss.

Deferral of loan payment

We emphasize that we began with the first preventive measures early (February 24), when we sent instructions to our employees on the measures to be adhered to and consistently implemented:

• We immediately cancelled and stopped all business trips abroad.
• We warned employees to stop all private trips abroad.
• We distributed hand disinfectants.
• We enabled work from home for employees that can perform their regular work from outside of the office (smart working).
• All planned business activities and meetings are held regularly, through online communication, conference calls, Skype.
• ATMs in branch offices are disinfected regularly.

We always try to participate in positive changes in the society, helping those who need help the most. Now, at a time of increased activities for infective disease treatment, we have recognised the importance and need for that on time, and at the beginning of February of this year, we have donated one million kunas to the Infectious Diseases Clinic "Dr. Fran Mihaljević" in Zagreb.
