PMS Mortgage Club has today announced the addition of Afin Bank to its panel of lenders, further strengthening the breadth of specialist mortgage solutions available to its members.
Afin Bank is a new entrant to the UK intermediary market, offering a fresh and flexible approach to lending. The bank specialises in supporting underserved customers, such as foreign nationals living and working in the UK on a visa, and provides both residential and buy-to-let mortgage products.
Its proposition is built around manual underwriting and a pragmatic, case-by-case approach, accepting foreign national clients with a minimum of six months’ UK residency, as well as considering forecasted income for self-employed applicants. Afin also offers higher income multiples for eligible professionals and a range of tracker and fixed-rate products with features designed to give borrowers greater flexibility and control.
This new partnership reflects PMS Mortgage Club’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the support and solutions available to its adviser community, helping them meet the evolving needs of modern borrowers.
Claire Cherrington, Director of PMS and Bankhall, commented:
“We’re excited to welcome Afin Bank to the PMS panel. Their innovative approach to lending and focus on underserved borrower segments—particularly foreign nationals and diaspora communities in the UK—aligns perfectly with our mission to support advisers in delivering life-changing advice. We’re committed to helping our members access lenders who offer flexible, tailored solutions that reflect the realities of today’s mortgage market.”
James Briggs, Intermediary Sales Director for Afin Bank, added:
“Afin’s mission is to help more people get the mortgages they need, especially those who may not fit traditional lending criteria, such as foreign nationals who can struggle to get a mortgage from mainstream lenders because of circumstances such as their visa or UK credit history.
Joining the PMS Mortgage Club panel is a significant step for Afin Bank as it means we can work with more brokers, offering great products and excellent service, helping them to help more of their clients make a home in this country.”
