Afin Bank has announced it has appointed Rebecca Lewis as Head of Operations.
Lewis has huge experience in financial services operations, particularly in the building society sector where she has had roles with Dudley Building Society, Skipton Building Society and most recently as Head of Customer Service at Tipton and Coseley Building Society.
Afin Bank has been created to support underserved customers, such as self-employed and high net worth borrowers, but in particular people from Africa living in the UK who find it difficult to get a mortgage from mainstream borrowers because of their visa status or lack of credit history.
Speaking of Lewis’ appointment, Nicola Tunney, Afin Bank’s Chief People and Operating Officer, said:“At the heart of Afin Bank is a desire to help customers who have been let down by mainstream providers, so I really wanted somebody heading up our operations who was passionate about people – not just our customers, but the colleagues supporting them as well.
“Bec has all those qualities as well as huge amounts of experience on the frontline and in developing the systems we need to make our operations world class. I am delighted that she is part of the Afin Bank team.”
