Initiatives include a $100,000 donation
Miami Lakes, Fla. based BankUnited announced today that it is
committed to helping Florida recover from the effects of Hurricane
Irma with a $100,000 donation to organizations which can
immediately deploy needed resources to targeted affected areas and
populations as well as initiatives aimed at offering relief to
customers, employees and other state residents.
“While we are extremely thankful that the loss of life was
limited, we know that Hurricane Irma is causing terrible hardship
among many across Florida,” said Rajinder P. Singh, President and
CEO. “Irma took aim at the entire state yet different regions will
require tailored responses. BankUnited will be supporting various
causes at a local level to help those directly impacted by this
unprecedented storm. It is predicted to be a long recovery and we
are committed to stand with our communities.”
BankUnited employees will be actively involved in Irma relief
efforts as well. Through its footprint of 90 banking centers across
Florida, BankUnited will be collecting goods for distribution on
behalf of the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. BankUnited
employees will also be able to take part in an initiative in which
they can donate money for hurricane relief. “I am extremely proud
of the way our employees remain dedicated to our customers even
though they and their loved ones were also in harm’s way,” said
Singh.
BankUnited has also established parameters to provide relief to
impacted retail and small business customers. BankUnited will be
waiving or refunding specified fees incurred from September 10,
2017 through September 30, 2017. Similarly, the bank will waive or
refund late charges incurred on loans during that time frame for
residential mortgage customers located in a FEMA-declared disaster
area that were impacted by Hurricane Irma.
