Afin Bank has appointed Anum Mahmood as national key account manager.

With almost 15 years in the mortgage sector, Mahmood previously spent six years with The Mortgage Lender, now part of Shawbrook Bank, before moving to the position of key account manager.

She also has experience with Metro Bank, The New Homes Group and Alexander Hall.

Mahmood will help build and manage relationships with the bank’s bigger partners across the UK, including brokers, packagers, networks and mortgage clubs.

Commenting on her appointment, Mahmood says: “I am joining Afin Bank because of its strong commitment to partnership and problem-solving. Afin is about building relationships, finding solutions and making complex mortgage cases feel simple.”

“By working closely with our broker partners, listening to their needs and applying our specialist expertise, we can support even the most challenging cases and help brokers deliver the right outcomes for their clients and do more business with confidence.”

Afin Bank national sales director Rob Lankey adds: “We have been spending more time with brokers and introducers, explaining the Afin proposition and how we can support their clients, but also understanding what they need from us to make working with Afin a frictionless experience.”

“With Anum onboard I am confident we have a strong and experienced team to promote Afin’s unique proposition and build lasting relationships with advisers across the country.”
