The financial services sector is one of several identified by the Group as potential high growth sectors in Sri Lanka’s economy.

Having developed into a household name, Laugfs Capital will seek to leverage on the trust and confidence placed in the Laugfs brand, along with its years of experience in catering to the uniquely Sri Lankan demands of its rapidly growing customer base in order to make in-roads into the country’s competitive financial services sector.

Despite being a new entrant to the field, Laugfs Capital has identified several gaps in the needs of local consumers which it will specifically cater to by offering a complete portfolio of efficient and convenient value added financial services in order to power the aspirations of every Sri Lankan.
