Alan & Belfius partnership

This marks a significant milestone in Alan's development in Belgium, offering its services to all of Belfius' corporate and institutional clients, representing millions of employees, starting today. Over time, Alan will also cover Belfius' 7,000 employees.

On this occasion, Alan is announcing a new Series F funding round of €173 million led by Belfius, with the participation of leading international investors, bringing its valuation to €4 billion.

This collaboration marks a major step in Alan’s growth in Belgium, its second-largest market after France in terms of activity. The partnership includes a distribution agreement, making Alan Belfius’ preferred partner for insurance and innovative health services, catering to the bank’s corporate, SME, and institutional clients.

To support this momentum, Alan plans to strengthen its local team by making more than 25 strategic hires in Belgium over the coming months.

As part of this partnership, Alan is completing a Series F funding round of €173 million, led by Belfius, with renewed support from existing investors (OTPP via Teachers' Venture Growth, Temasek, Coatue, Lakestar), and numerous French and international major entrepreneurs.

While Alan maintains full control of its cash flow and confirms its objective to achieve group profitability by 2026, this investment will accelerate its growth, further enhance its technological lead, and intensify its international expansion. The company's governance remains unchanged, with the two founders and the employees being the largest shareholders, controlling over 40% of the capital and the majority of voting rights.
