Afin Bank has appointed Emily Carr (pictured above) as mortgage advisor, who will head up the bank’s specialist inhouse team of advisors.
The team has been set up to advise applicants introduced via the bank’s Community Ambassador Programme.
This is a network of people in diaspora communities who will introduce friends, family and other community members looking for a mortgage.
Emily has had a long career in mortgage advice with roles at NatWest, Halifax and HSBC, as well as more specialist providers such as Police Mutual.
In addition to providing mortgage advice, Emily will also help shape the bank’s inhouse proposition and manage the team.
“Emily is a skilled and experienced mortgage advisor, but she is also passionate about treating customers as people, not just as an application,” said Alan Davison, chief commercial officer at Afin Bank.
“She’s the perfect person to help people from diaspora communities understand their options and find the mortgage they want, something they don’t get on the high street.”
Emily added: “I really feel like I’ve been building towards and preparing for this job all my life.
“I have all the skill sets needed to create this proposition and it’s exciting to be part of a new bank like Afin that’s trying to do something different, something with a purpose.”
