Afin Bank has joined L&G’s Mortgage Club lender panel to make the specialist lender accessible to more advisers across the UK.

Having launched in the summer, Afin offers a range of residential and buy-to-let mortgages to underserved customers.

Afin has stated that its mortgages cater for borrowers with specific requirements, such as the self-employed, young professionals and foreign nationals who live and work in the UK

Intermediary sales director for Afin, James Briggs, said that L&G’s Mortgage Club has a “huge reach in the UK” and that lender was “delighted” to be part of its community.

“Afin was created with a mission to help underserved customers, whether from diaspora communities, or other borrowers that don’t fit the tick box approach of many lenders, such as the self-employed,” Briggs said. “Being part of the L&G’s Mortgage Club means we can work with even more advisers and help those customers get the mortgages they deserve.”

Head of strategic accounts at L&G’s Mortgage Services business, Greg Cunnington, added: “We are delighted to welcome Afin to L&G’s Mortgage Club lender panel.

“Afin has launched with a proactive approach to assisting underserved customers in the market, such as the self-employed and young professionals, and this will be a welcome addition for our broker community.”
