Rob Lankey Appointed Chief Commercial Officer at Afin Bank
Rob Lankey has been promoted to chief commercial officer (CCO) at Afin Bank. In his new role, Lankey will oversee the bank’s lending strategy and manage the specialist lender’s sales team.
Lankey joined Afin Bank as Director of Credit during its launch phase last year. At the start of this year, he became National Sales Director, taking responsibility for the sales team as it expanded with the addition of several new business development managers.
With this latest promotion, Lankey will help shape Afin Bank as it reinforces its presence in the marketplace. The bank supports borrowers who may not meet the lending criteria of mainstream banks, including the self-employed, workers with multiple incomes, qualified professionals, high-net-worth individuals, and foreign nationals working in the UK.
Lankey has over 35 years of experience in credit, operations, and commercial roles within the mortgage industry, particularly in the intermediary sector. He has been involved in the start-up or early stages of six banks and lenders, including Aldermore, and has served as Chief Executive of the NACFB.
This appointment may be of interest to UK letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring developments in specialist lending and mortgage product availability for clients with complex financial backgrounds.
