Who are the team behind IBN Private?
Scott and Fiona Roberts started IBN Private in 2004 after extensive experience in one of the Big 4. Scott and Fiona had noticed there were several quality deals that didn’t quite fit the banks stringent lending requirements that were, at their core, solid proposals. Scott and Fiona set out to solve the problem of lending to these proposals.
After 16 years in business it’s apparent their solution has worked.
Supporting Scott and Fiona is David Jahnke, our Senior Credit Manager, and Paul O’Rourke, our Relationship Manager. Both David and Paul come from traditional banking backgrounds. Both also have years of experience in property development and finance, both from banking and development perspectives. With real world knowledge and experience, your proposal is safe with IBN Private.
