Afin Bank joins Mortgage Advice Bureau lender panel

The specialist lender supports borrowers let down by mainstream providers

Afin Bank, the mortgage lender specialising in helping underserved borrowers, has joined Mortgage Advice Bureau’s (MAB) lender panel.

The specialist lender’s full range of residential and buy-to-let mortgages will now be available to MAB’s advisers, providing lending options to borrowers that are unsupported by mainstream providers because their circumstances do not fit rigid tick box affordability criteria.

This includes clients such as self-employed and contract workers, people with more complex incomes, qualified professionals seeking higher loan to income borrowing, high-net-worth borrowers, and foreign nationals with a UK work visa.

John Smith, Head of Bridging, Afin Bank, said: “It can be tough for borrowers to get a mortgage if their situation is a bit different, perhaps because of their job or income. Good advice is important in these cases, which is why we’re delighted to be working with Mortgage Advice Bureau, who share Afin’s passion in helping more people get the mortgage they deserve.

“Afin assesses each borrower’s financial situation and individually underwrites every mortgage, so whether it’s a first time buyer, a mover, or someone looking to remortgage to a new deal, we look forward to supporting MAB’s advisers as they help their clients get the right mortgage.”

Rachel Geddes, Strategic Lender Relationships Director, Mortgage Advice Bureau, added: “At MAB, we’re committed to helping our customers say yes to more, and Afin joining our lender panel is another way we’re delivering on that promise.

“Afin’s proposition gives our advisers greater flexibility to find the right solution for a wider range of borrower circumstances, helping more customers access the mortgage that’s right for them. We’re delighted to welcome Afin to our panel, and look forward to working together to help even more customers find the right mortgage solution.”

Afin Bank is backed by WAICA Reinsurance Corporation Plc (WAICA Re), one of the largest reinsurance companies in Africa. It offers a range of residential and buy-to-let mortgages in England and Wales, and FSCS protected savings accounts.

Notes to editors

Afin Bank was created to help some of the UK’s most underserved customers, from the self-employed, contract workers and foreign nationals with a UK work visa, through to qualified professionals and high-net-worth customers.

It offers a range of residential and buy-to-let mortgages for properties in England and Wales, and FSCS protected savings accounts.

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

Your circumstances change, your needs change

And what works for everyone else may not work for you.

Self-employed or self-made

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
