Lufax

Shanghai, China Financial Services Public

Lufax Holding Ltd is a Chinese technology-empowered personal financial services platform headquartered in Shanghai. Originally founded in September 2011 by Ping An Insurance Group as Shanghai Lujiazui International Financial Asset Exchange (Shanghai Lufax), the company began as a P2P lending marketplace before pivoting to become a leading retail credit facilitator and wealth management platform serving small business owners and middle-class consumers in China. Lufax operates two core business lines: (1) retail credit facilitation, where it connects borrowers (primarily small business owners) with funding partners such as banks and trusts, and (2) wealth management, distributing investment products to retail clients. Ping An Insurance Group remains its largest shareholder. Lufax listed American Depositary Shares on the NYSE in October 2020 (ticker: LU) and completed a dual primary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in April 2023 (stock code: 6623).
