ChatGPT Discount Bank Offers Six-Month Mortgage Exemption to near Gaza Residents

Posted on Oct 25, 2023 by Ifi Reporter - Dan Bielski

In a generous move to support its customers in the Otaf region, Discount Bank has announced a unique and extensive benefit. Residents living within 7 km of the border will be granted a complete six-month exemption from their mortgage payments. The exemption is not deferred but applies immediately and automatically, eliminating the need for customers to contact the bank.

This unprecedented offer covers the upcoming six months, from November 23, 2023, to April 24, 2024. It comes as a relief to many households, especially in challenging times.

Discount Bank is also extending its commitment to assist customers during this period. They have chosen to prolong their participation in the Bank of Israel's aid program, initially published about a week ago. The extension lengthens the support period from three months to an extended six-month period. This extension is specifically for Discount Bank customers residing within the first circle, as defined by the Bank of Israel's plan.

Discount Bank is following the footsteps of Bank Mizrahi Tefahot and the Po'alei Bank, both of which have already granted mortgage exemptions to Otaf residents. However, Discount Bank's offer surpasses these previous initiatives, extending support for a more extended period.

In addition to these mortgage relief efforts, Discount Bank has established the Or Fund. This dedicated aid fund has an initial allocation of 50 million NIS and is designed to support children and teenagers who have been injured in the conflict line during the ongoing war.

These measures demonstrate Discount Bank's unwavering commitment to assisting its customers during challenging times and making a meaningful impact on the communities it serves.
