No information

"There was no information from the commercial bank," complains a small business woman from Wiesen. "As customers, we received neither a call nor an e-mail. Only through a friend who had heard of the bankruptcy on ORF did I find out about the misery."
The fact that the entrepreneur - burdened by the Corona crisis - received the okay for the hardship fund of the Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday is particularly bitter. The transfer of support has already been carried out. Unfortunately, on an account that the entrepreneur no longer has access to. It is no longer possible to change the account number afterwards. The next low blow followed the initial relief. Fortunately, she was able to open a new account at her house bank over the phone. Other Commerzialbank customers weren't so lucky.
"A friend didn't get an appointment with a bank until July 27," she says. "Until then, she has to get away with 11 euros in cash."

Bad surprises
Many customers of the Commerzialbank Mattersburg experienced embarrassing situations in everyday life.
"I went shopping in the supermarket on Wednesday after work," reports Silke W. from Mattersburg. "The shopping cart was full to the brim. At the cash desk I had a nasty surprise. My ATM card didn't work. I stopped shopping and raced to the next bank. Unfortunately, unsuccessful. I couldn't withdraw anything."
A friend called for help brought her cash. Until Silke W. found out about the bankruptcy from the media, she had no idea why her card was no longer working.
A similar thing happened to a pensioner from Pöttsching. Due to a rockfall, her car had to be brought to the garage to have the windshield replaced. When collecting the car, the ATM card no longer worked and payment was impossible.
"But I wasn't the only one," she says. "Next to me sat a man and a young woman. All three have an account at the commercial bank and could not pay the repair. The manager of the workshop was understanding and issued invoices, the due date of which was postponed."

Vacation falls into the water
"The commercial bank ruined our vacation. It should have started on Monday, but it won't work without cash and a functioning ATM card," says Mario H. from Mattersburg, angry. "Until we can get our money, we don't have to leave and have to stay at home. We can't borrow money from our parents because our entire family has all accounts with the club."

Without money in quarantine
Fate hit the F. family particularly hard in Bad Sauerbrunn. The husband tested positive for Covid 19 on Wednesday. The family of four is currently in quarantine at home. The couple has two accounts with the commercial bank Mattersburg. At the same time as the shock about the virus disease came the sudden bankruptcy of the bank.
"Thank goodness my husband is a real survival guy," says Christiane with a sigh. "He hid an emergency box with a few hundred euros in cash in our apartment. We will be able to live on this money in the near future. Our pantry is filled with the bare minimum. However, we are still dependent on outside help. Due to the quarantine, we are allowed to use ours Don't leave home and someone has to bring food like milk, fruit and vegetables to us and put them in front of the door. "

The Province of Burgenland reacted quickly and supported those affected with extensive measures.
