The inaugural appointee was previously the state sales manager for Queensland and Western Australia at Consolidated Finance Group and has over a decade of experience in the finance industry, including working with brokers at FleetPartners and Suncorp.
He joined Alex Bank in April.
Speaking of the new hire, Simon Beitz, chief executive of Alex Bank, said: “I’m delighted to have Peter on board supporting, driving and growing our broker distribution channel.
“Peter has extensive industry experience and will be a valuable asset to the Alex Bank team as we continue to grow and expand our offering.
“Our broker partnerships play an important role in Alex Bank’s acquisition strategy and is an area we will continue to invest in supporting and developing.”
Alex Bank launched its first aggregator partnership with Platform Finance in December of last year and said it was now planning to build its broker network with a “select group of high-quality broker and aggregator businesses over the coming months”.
The new appointment comes after the digital lender recruited two new C-level executives as it continues to build its personal lending book, which has reportedly grown by over 150 per cent in the past six months.
To date, the lender has settled over $30 million in loans and is expected to expand into new products in near future.
