Bank will make support payments of £50 to £500, depending on customers' needs, which will be paid into an account that only the claimant can access.
High street bank TSB has set up a fund that will financially support people fleeing abusive relationships.
People will be able to get support payments of between £50 and £500, depending on their needs, which will be paid into an account that only the claimant can access. The payments will be based on individual needs and will assist people with the cost of essentials such as travel, clothing and toiletries, which they may need having left a property shared with an abuser.
People can request support by visiting a TSB branch. The bank said branch staff have received specialist training in supporting people experiencing domestic abuse.According to the charity Surviving Economic Abuse, 95% of domestic abuse cases include a form of economic abuse. One of the most common forms involves victims being prevented from maintaining their own economic resources.
TSB also has a"safe spaces" initiative in place, for anyone needing support and to sit safely and securely to visit.
