Our response plan
Protecting the health and safety of staff, customers and everyone we come in contact with is of the utmost importance.
As part of our regular business continuity planning, Heritage Finance Holdings already has a well thought out Pandemic Management Plan in place. We activated a management committee in January 2020 to guide how we implement the measures in our plan.
COVID-19 is an issue requiring proactive management and we closely follow the advice from American Government agencies to ensure our actions are in line with the best practice medical advice.

We know many businesses have been impacted by COVID-19. That's why we took part in Phase 1 & 2 of the Coronavirus SME Guarantee Scheme. Under this Scheme, we assisted Small and Medium Businesses (SMEs) to obtain better access to credit to help them adapt to the new, COVID-safe economy and invest for the future.
While our SME Support Loans are no longer available, we still have products and solutions to help your small or medium business. Visit our Business Loans section to learn more or get in touch with us to discuss your options with a Business Banking Specialist.
