John Bolton (JB)

About John

John Bolton is one of New Zealand’s most respected voices in property finance. After a decade in senior banking, he founded Squirrel in 2008 with a vision to build a fairer financial system and better homes for Kiwis.

Since its beginnings in 2008, Squirrel has grown into one of the country’s largest mortgage brokerages and most trusted non-bank lenders, known for straight-talking advice and pragmatic funding solutions.

Having developed, traded, and funded property himself, JB knows first-hand the risks and realities of development. He combines that experience with market foresight and a candid style that continues to set Squirrel apart.

When he’s not helping reshape New Zealand’s financial system, JB can usually be found skiing (a little too fast) or eating sashimi. And naturally, his favourite colour is orange.

Could not be happier with the service we got from Peimin - this is the second time we have used her to get a home loan because we were so impressed with her work. She was very thorough and hustled to get us approval quickly.

We had the BEST home buying experience with Stevie Wallace our mortgage advisor and Charles Wilson the account manager! Stevie was just amazing and I can't thank her enough for all the guidance we received during our house hunting and purchasing experience! We ended up buying our dream home and Stevie got us the best rates and was more than happy to answer all my texts and calls. Charles was super efficient with what documents were required from us and we were kept updated at every step of the process. Thanks team! Jeremy and I are your biggest fans :)
