Introduction


LSE Financial Services Limited (PSX Ticker: LSEFSL) is licensed as an Investment Finance Services (IFS) providing entity under the Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFC) regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).

The primary function of LSEFSL is to provide finance for the equity shares transactions of some carefully selected listed companies, under the margin financing system (MTS) of the National Clearing Company of Pakistan Limited (NCCPL). The company also aims to venture into digital finance and deposit taking services after obtaining requisite permission from the SECP. Besides, LSEFSL also aims to acquire an electronic money institution (EMI) license from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) to offer digital payment services.

LSEFSL was the successor entity after the merger of erstwhile Lahore Stock Exchange (LSE) with two other exchanges of the country which led to establishment of Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited. In 2023, LSEFSL was demerged into three separate companies, whereby all non-compliant NBFC assets and functions were transferred to two other companies of LSE enterpises. In 2024, LSEFSL was listed on PSX under the court’s approved scheme of arrangement.
