$150,000 SA fire rebuilding fund: NAB

The National Australia Bank is giving community groups devastated by the bushfire in South Australia's mid-north up to $150,000 to rebuild.

Community groups hit by last week's bushfire - which claimed two lives, destroyed about 82,000 hectares and close to 500 homes and buildings - can apply for grants of up to $10,000 each.

NAB is also collecting donations for Red Cross bushfire recovery efforts.

Australia's big four banks have offered assistance packages - including loan and credit card relief, suspended repayments and expedited insurance claims - to affected customers.
