Anna Ko

Account Manager and Mortgage Adviser | FSP No. 778451
Squirrel Mortgages Ltd | FAP Licence No. 136364

With 20 years in finance, including more than a decade specialising in mortgages, Anna's got plenty of experience to share. Before joining Squirrel, she worked at GE Money Home Lending and spent 11 years at Westpac in a range of roles.

Now, as Squirrel's Account Manager Team Lead, Anna puts that knowledge to work supporting the team and helping keep things running smoothly for our clients. When she's not leading the team, Anna's usually spending time with her husband, two daughters and the family dog.

And if there's one thing she takes seriously outside of mortgages, it's noodles. Ramen, stir-fry, instant noodles... she's not fussy. If it's got noodles, she's in. 

Qualifications

Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science from the University of Auckland, and NZ Certificate in Financial Services.
