The LANALA Group's expansion has been marked by the establishment of various subsidiaries, including LANALA Assurances, LANALA Assurance Vie, LANALA Finance, Digital Pay, and Soutra Money. Each subsidiary has a distinct mission, ranging from protecting clients' assets to facilitating daily transactions and supporting the community. The group has also created 827 direct and indirect jobs and is committed to training young professionals in the banking sector.
