Afin Bank Promotes Anum Mahmood to National Sales Director

Anum Mahmood has been promoted to national sales director at Afin Bank. Mahmood originally joined the specialist lender as national key account manager in February 2026.

Afin Bank stated that Mahmood has played a key role in onboarding broker partners, including L&C Mortgages and Mortgage Intelligence, since joining the company. The promotion comes as Afin Bank prepares for further growth, with plans to recruit more business development managers and launch a regulated bridging proposition.

Mahmood has nearly 15 years of experience in the mortgage sector, with previous roles at The Mortgage Lender (now part of Shawbrook Bank), Metro Bank, The New Homes Group, and Alexander Hall.

Afin Bank launched in 2025 and has focused on supporting broker partners and expanding its lending propositions. The company highlighted Mahmood’s achievements and her contribution to building relationships with brokers and networks.

For letting agents and inventory clerks, changes in leadership and product offerings at specialist lenders like Afin Bank may impact the availability of mortgage products for landlords and property investors, particularly as the lender expands its regulated bridging options.
