Cebuana Lhuillier Bank continues to expand its reach across the country—solidifying its position as a trusted enabler of financial inclusion for millions of Filipinos. As part of this ongoing growth, the bank has officially opened a new branch in Tanjay City, Negros Oriental, bringing affordable and accessible banking services to more communities in the Visayas.
Located at Calle Rizal St., Poblacion, Tanjay City, the new branch is set to meet the growing financial needs of local residents and businesses. Cebuana Lhuillier Bank offers a comprehensive suite of financial products and services—including its flagship Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings Account, which allows account opening for as low as ₱50 and requires only one valid ID. The bank also provides affordable personal and business loans, and a growing set of digital banking services that make financial access simpler and more convenient for every Filipino.
“With every new branch we open, we bring financial access one step closer to the millions of Filipinos who remain unbanked or underserved,” said Jean Henri Lhuillier, President and CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier. “The launch of our Tanjay City branch reflects Cebuana Lhuillier Bank’s deep commitment to financial inclusion, especially in regions where reliable banking is most needed. We remain focused on our mission to empower communities and uplift lives through accessible, affordable financial services.”
This expansion is more than just geographic—it’s a reflection of Cebuana Lhuillier Bank’s robust performance and continued push for innovation. Its growing nationwide presence is fueled by a strong 2024 performance and a deep understanding of its clients’ evolving needs, whether through accessible loan offerings or expanding deposit services.
In 2024, the bank recorded ₱4.6 billion in total loan disbursements, exceeding its target of the same amount. Business loans alone reached ₱1.7 billion (133% of target), while teacher’s loans hit ₱2.4 billion, complemented by housing and education-related loans. On the deposit side, Cebuana Lhuillier Bank posted ₱8.0 billion in total deposits and now serves over 8 million deposit accounts.
“We want our clients, from small business owners and teachers to farmers and first-time savers, to know that banking shouldn’t be complicated or out of reach, said Philippe Andre Lhuillier, Senior Executive Vice-President of Cebuana Lhuillier. “Whether it’s opening a micro savings account, applying for a business or education loan, or managing their finances through our mobile app, we’re committed to offering secure, convenient, and affordable services that genuinely serve their needs.”
The grand launch event brought together key leaders from Cebuana Lhuillier and the local government, including Cebuana Lhuillier Chairman and Founder Ambassador Philippe Jones Lhuillier, President and CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier, and Tanjay City Vice Mayor Atty. Reynil Arcide, along with other distinguished guests. Their presence reflected their shared mission with the community to build a more financially resilient future together.
Cebuana Lhuillier Bank warmly invites the residents of Tanjay City and nearby communities to visit the new branch and experience its trusted financial services—designed to empower individuals, families, and small businesses alike. With a strong focus on customer satisfaction and community engagement, Cebuana Lhuillier Bank is poised to make a lasting impact in Negros Oriental.
