Our team

Better people make better lending

We lend billions of dollars to commercial real estate projects every year. But it’s not just capital that distinguishes us. It’s the empowered nature of our workforce. Our advisors are experienced experts whose sole focus is to deliver financing strategies that enable you to achieve greater success.

Our Better Lending culture – three decades in the making – is built on the skill that comes from pure mortgage lending. Because we start from a position of knowledge about you, your project, and your market, we can design solutions that are fit for your purpose. And because accountability is in our nature, we meet our commitments.

Better by design, better by nature, better for you in every corner of the country.

Analyst, Commercial Financing

Peter.Hantho@firstnational.ca

Diligent. Incisive. Meticulous.

“I add value by considering financial information carefully, applying my deep understanding of financial science and engaging with clients effectively.”

Peter joined the First National team in 2021. He made a career change early in 2021, transitioning from being a self-employed construction contractor to financial analyst. Having recently completed the CFA course, Peter has a strong understanding of financial instruments, reporting and market dynamics. He relies on his logical mind, quick thinking and attention to bias when conducting financial analysis. Meticulously detail oriented and committed to best practices, Peter applies discipline and focus to deliver quality reporting, information processing and quality work product.

When he’s not adding value for First National borrowers, Peter quenches his thirst for adventure with rock climbing, ski touring and mountaineering. He taps his artistic side by playing piano.
