Since the establishment of Lafferty Group 40 years ago, retail banking has been our main focus. It is a fascinating sector with vast potential for future growth. Retail banking helps the world's consumers, small businesses, and the better off with their financial needs, from payments and savings to loans and investments. Investors love the sector, and stock market valuations of retail bank earnings are far higher than those of other banking sectors. We are proud to support the industry with education, knowledge, and intelligence.
