The Bank's initiatives due to the war: The Bank implemented many initiatives for the benefit of the general public and its customers. The latest initiative taken by the bank is a series of unique benefits for IDF reservists. In addition, the bank recently provided NIS 30 million ($8 million) to support reservists, both business owners and self-employed.

These initiatives are part of the Leumi's policy to expand the Bank of Israel's relief program, publishing its own relief program to both business and retail customers from across Israel – with an emphasis on residents of the southern and northern confrontation lines, with the aim of assisting them as much as possible during these complex times. The reliefs to eligible customers included, among others: full exemption from mortgage payments, exemption from loan repayments for retail customers and small businesses, designated aid funds, exemption from common current account fees, exemption from charges on current account overdraft and more.

In addition, since the outbreak of the war, the Bank made substantial donations to residents of the southern and northern confrontation lines, IDF soldiers - both on active and reserve duty, hospitals and first responder and aid organizations.

In addition, the Bank initiated and financed a series of projects to rehabilitate southern Israel and other populations affected by the war, including: Providing ongoing multi-year assistance to Kibbutz Be'eri until its full rehabilitation; the "National Harvest" project - under which college and university students who volunteer to assist farmers in harvesting crops on an ongoing basis received a full year's academic tuition from the Bank; and the "Leumi Matriculation" initiative, in which the Bank assists youth across the country to prepare for their matriculation exams, with a special emphasis on high school students who were evacuated from the north and south.

The updated cost of the reliefs and donations provided following the war is estimated at NIS 554 million ($147 million).
