Australia – In the midst of the excitement around the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023, Commonwealth Bank and GHO Sydney, a creative firm, have developed a brand-new sponsorship campaign called “For all the goals we share.”

Sam Kerr, a professional football player, is featured in the 30-second TV commercial alongside her CommBank Matildas teammates Courtney Nevin, Tameka Yallop, and Claire Polkinghorne. Avaani Prakash, a potential Young Matildas player, as well as young athletes from the neighbourhood, their families, and encouraging football trainers are also featured in the campaign. Regardless of their scope or importance, each person’s unique objectives are emphasised in the ad’s narrative.

Dianne Everett, general manager of brand and sponsorships at Commonwealth Bank said, “We couldn’t be prouder to showcase our continued support for women’s football. This campaign brings together months of work from an incredible team who are dedicated to helping people achieve their goals. Now, we get to enjoy a month of celebration as we support the CommBank Matildas.”

Eithne McSwiney, managing director at GHO Sydney, added remarks, “We want this campaign to really resonate with everyone who’s connected to the game of football; the players, the supporters, the families on the sidelines and the community coaches. We’re so excited to help CommBank tell their story of support for women’s football as we chase our shared goal of growing the game for all Australians.”

As an official supporter of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™, CommBank extends a warm welcome to female footballers from all around the world. The official Sydney FIFA Fan Festival, scheduled to commence on July 20th at Tumblong Park, will include an engaging CommBank activation called ‘Train like a Matilda.’ This exciting experience will be available throughout the tournament, culminating with the FIFA Women’s World Cup Final on August 20th.

Sydney, Australia – In response to some of its customers affected by the recent lockdowns due to COVID-19, financial institution Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) has announced that it is extending its financial support to affected small businesses in the state of New South Wales in Australia.

Part of the main service CBA will offer is its loans, where they are provided through the federal government-backed SME Loan Recovery Scheme. This offers eligible businesses loans up to AU$5m with variable interest rates from as low as 2.6% per annum for secured loans, and from 2.85% per annum for secured loans with a repayment holiday from 12 months. Unsecured loans are available with rates from 3.25% per annum, and from 3.75% per annum with a repayment holiday from 12 months.

Other services include repayment deferrals on asset finance and eligible business loans; a refund of merchant terminal fees for up to 90 days for eligible customers; and a waiving of fees and notice periods on cash deposit and farm management deposit accounts for eligible customers.

For Matt Comyn, CEO at CBA, they wanted to assure any of their customers who need assistance during this difficult time that they have measures in place to support them including short-term repayment deferrals. He also added that their teams are here to help them and can tailor solutions to suit their different circumstances.

“We know this lockdown will have an impact on the Sydney-based business community and we’ve been speaking to our customers to understand if they need assistance. Our business customers have demonstrated great resilience throughout the pandemic and we’re committed to doing what we can to help them through this lockdown period and beyond,” Comyn said.

He added, “We have a range of measures to help businesses to free up cash flow and provide some certainty, whether it’s through loan deferrals, fee refunds, or new low-cost funding through the SME Recovery Loan Scheme. As well as helping to deliver vital cash flow and provide peace of mind during this challenging time, these funds have allowed many businesses to adapt and innovate their operations, such as transitioning online.”
