About LaFinBox

LaFinBox operated as a wealth management application, founded in 2015 by Ludivine Doladilthe and Stephane Vallois in Levallois-Perret, France. The venture was established with the backing of the Swiss Life Group, where Vallois had been the Head of IT since 2006 after a decade in system and network development consulting. This background in both corporate IT and broader technology infrastructure shaped the foundation of the company.

The firm's core offering was a financial aggregation application that allowed users to connect and view all their financial accounts in one place. This included current accounts, savings, investments, loans, and insurance policies, providing a consolidated overview of an individual's entire financial picture. The application targeted multi-banked individuals, specifically a demographic described as "High Earners Not Rich Yet" (HENRYs), and also offered B2B solutions. The business model for its consumer-facing app was freemium, providing the aggregation service at no cost, with plans to monetize through automated advisory services in the future. For business clients, such as independent wealth advisors and financial institutions, LaFinBox developed dedicated, white-label versions of its platform, generating revenue from setup and maintenance fees.

The application provided features for tracking investment performance, categorizing expenses, and analyzing a user's portfolio for risk and diversification. It was designed to simplify financial management and provide clearer insights through graphical representations of wealth and personalized alerts for significant account activity or market movements. The platform emphasized a high level of security, comparable to banking institutions, to protect user data. The company ceased operations, and by October 2021, Swiss Life had closed the aggregator.
