Amanda Gwetu

Mortgage Adviser and Analyst | FSP No. 1010292
Squirrel Mortgages Ltd | FAP Licence No. 136364

Amanda is a senior mortgage adviser and lending analyst with over 12 years of experience across business, commercial and residential lending. Before joining Squirrel, she spent 11 years at ANZ in roles ranging from Service Consultant to Construction Coach and Business Specialist — so she knows her stuff.

She specialises in working with self-employed clients and small to medium business owners, helping them secure lending solutions for both their business and personal property needs.

Outside of work, you’ll find her at the braai perfecting smoked ribs or lost in a good book. She can also sing and dance — though she won’t be performing at the next team meeting.
