Afin Bank hires new mortgage underwriter

Kimberley Bennett joins the specialist lender from Precise

Kimberley Bennett has joined Afin Bank as a Mortgage Underwriter, further expanding the specialist lender’s credit team. Last month Afin added new underwriters with experience of the bank’s core propositions including residential, buy-to-let and bridging.

Kimberley joins from Precise where she spent more than nine years, rising through the organisation to become a Mortgage Underwriter.

Speaking about her new role, she said: “I liked the fact that Afin is supporting gaps in the market that other lenders are missing out. We will explore all sensible options to help a borrower and make the deal work, something that is missing from so many mainstream lenders these days.

“That approach makes it a much more interesting job for me as I really get to tap into my skills, experience and understanding of the borrower’s situation to assess the case properly. It’s good to be able to help people, who may have struggled elsewhere, to get a mortgage.”

Jason Oakley, CEO, Afin Bank, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Kimberley to Afin and we now have a great team of experienced and skilled underwriters to support the bank now and in the future as we grow our propositions and customer base.”

Afin Bank offers residential, buy-to-let mortgages and regulated bridging on properties in England and Wales. It also offers FSCS regulated savings accounts.

At Afin Bank we understand that life isn’t always a straight line

Career change or career break

Just starting out or starting to slow down

Saving for a dream or for a rainy day.

That’s why at Afin Bank, all finance is personal.

Through expert understanding of your needs

And products that make the complex more straightforward

You’ll be empowered to take control of your finances.

Whoever you are, wherever life takes you, we’ll be there.

Because life doesn’t fit in a box
