Supporting customers affected by serious illness
We can offer you support if you need financial help during this time.
A serious illness means you may be facing an injury, disease, or physical condition that is having a negative impact on your quality of life. While your most immediate priority will be coping with the challenges of a serious illness, you may find that there’s an impact on your finances for reasons such as not being able to work. We’re here to support you.
How we can help you
Speak to our dedicated Serious Illness Support team
Our Serious Illness Support Team can help if you or a loved one has a serious illness. Our dedicated support team provides a confidential and free service to give you practical help on how to reduce the impact a serious illness has on your finances.
Our team can provide:
- An assessment of your finances and can help manage any changes to your finances, at every stage.
- Practical guidance on personal banking, savings, loans, mortgages, and credit cards.
- Referrals to other areas of Bank of Scotland that may be able to help.
- Information on help available from other charities that can offer specific support about your illness.
- Sometimes, we offer help to lessen the financial impact of a serious illness through things like mortgage payment holidays and current account charges. To assess whether we can offer you this level of support, we will need to take your individual situation into account.
Our specialist Serious Illness Support Team will discuss your financial situation with you, and go through what support is best for you. Call us free on 0800 015 0166 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm).
