My name is Darren McNamara, and I’ve dedicated over four decades to the banking industry, starting in 1982. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience and expertise through frontline sales and leadership roles at Australia’s four major banks—ANZ, St George, Westpac, and CBA. This journey has given me a deep and comprehensive understanding of commercial lending and credit management, skills I’m eager to share with aspiring credit analysts.

Proven expertise in credit analysis, cash flow lending, property finance, and credit risk management, with a strong track record of structuring and delivering tailored financial solutions for mid-market and large corporate clients.

Adept at collaborating with stakeholders across risk, product, and client teams to deliver financing strategies that support long-term business success.
