The European banking sector is fully committed to helping the European businesses and households navigate through the major but temporary difficulties posed by the global COVID-19 pandemic. This web page brings together actions by the EBF, national banking associations that are a member of the EBF and official institutional announcements.

Any business in need of support is advised to directly contact their bank and to discuss options. The EBF believes that solidarity among EU member states is essential for effective mitigation of the economic impact.
