Business Asset Finance Transaction Manager

We’re DF Capital – a specialist bank providing award-winning commercial finance, retail finance, and savings products to consumers and small businesses.

Based in Manchester, we serve thousands of customers across the UK and into Europe, supporting their ambitions with tailored financial solutions.

We help our customers realise their ambitions by doing things differently – combining the agility and innovation of a specialist lender with the security and service standards of a regulated bank. Whether it’s flexible lending structures or straightforward savings options, we focus on what matters most to our customers.

In 2025, we launched DF Capital Retail Finance – a subsidiary of DF Capital Bank Limited – to offer specialist hire purchase solutions to retail customers.

As a member of the commercial team, you will play a key role in growing the bank’s business and high net worth individual asset finance loan book through managing the originations right from initial business quote through to pay out, including liaising with credit and the legal documentation team as well as external parties such as brokers (for certain asset classes only) and suppliers. 

You will enable growth in the asset finance loan book by being responsible for taking introductions sourced via our Field Development Team and managing them through the origination processes, end to end.  Using defined pricing parameters, you will produce quotes for our prospects, prepare a credit proposal, ensuring that the asset type, supplier and terms meet with DFC’s requirements before liaising with the credit team to answer their points to enable a credit approval.  On approval, you will be responsible for sourcing an invoice from the supplier and passing to the legal docs team to produce the customer documentation before ensuring that the Operations team are set for payout.
