FleetPartners’ former head of lease establishment has joined non-bank lender BNK.
BNK Banking Corporation Limited (BNK) has named financial services industry veteran Joe Mittiga as its chief operating officer.
Mittiga, whose appointment is effective immediately, joined from FleetPartners after serving more than three years at the vehicle leasing specialist.
He brings more than 25 years’ experience in the financial services sector, having held senior roles in Australia, the UK, and Austria.
Prior to FleetPartners, he served as head of mortgage operations at Athena Home Loans. Mittiga was also head of operations at ING Austria and spent almost a decade at ING Australia, including more than two years as head of customer operations.
In his new role, Mittiga will be responsible for improving customer experiences at the lender.
BNK CEO Allan Savins praised Mittiga’s experience.
“We are thrilled to welcome Joe to BNK. His deep industry expertise and commitment to developing high-performing teams will be invaluable as we continue to grow and evolve,” he said.
“With a leadership style focused on coaching, mentoring, and fostering high-performance cultures, we’re delighted to have him on board.”
Mittiga said: “I’m excited to be joining BNK at such a pivotal time. There’s a clear vision for growth and innovation, and I look forward to working with the team to strengthen our operations and delivering outstanding experiences for our customers.”
In its most recent financial results, BNK reported a $1.7 million profit after tax, recovering from a $414,000 loss a year before.
Founded in 1982, BNK now operates as a branchless, digital-only bank with two main brands: Goldfields Money and Better Choice. It focuses on the residential market and offers a range of financial products, including home loans, deposit accounts, and personal loans.
