The new office will be home to the bank’s corporate functions, including finance and compliance, as well as the IT teams developing the mobile app.
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.

Afin Bank received its banking licence authorisation with Restrictions (AwR) in October and plans offer residential and BTL mortgages to African nationals in the UK, as well as supporting other non-standard borrowers like the self-employed and high-net worth customers. It will also offer savings accounts.
Jason Oakley, CEO at Afin Bank, said: “Our new headquarters in the heart of London represent a significant milestone for Afin Bank as we prepare to launch later this year.
“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.”
