Afin Bank has opened its new Central London headquarters ahead of its planned product launch later in 2025.
The new office at 10 Chiswell Street, close to Moorgate and Liverpool Street stations, will be home to the bank’s corporate functions, including finance and compliance, as well as the IT teams developing the systems and mobile app that will be at the core of Afin Bank’s proposition.
The launch of the London headquarters follows the opening of its Centre of Excellence in Birmingham in December, which is the base for its customer service functions and its credit and lending support teams.
Jason Oakley, Afin Bank’s CEO, said: “Our new headquarters in the heart of London represent a significant milestone for Afin Bank as we prepare to launch later this year. This state-of-the-art space has been designed to foster collaboration and creativity among our teams, ensuring that we develop lending solutions that meet the needs of our target customers.
“From African nationals to self-employed workers and others underserved by mainstream banks, our mission is to overcome the barriers they face and make getting a mortgage more straightforward. We are equally committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive
culture that reflects our customer base and supports an understanding of their needs.
“Our London headquarters embodies this vision, providing an environment where our teams can thrive and develop solutions that resonate with the challenges faced by our customers.”
