Cebuana Lhuillier Bank has officially opened a new branch in Tanjay City, Negros Oriental, continuing its nationwide expansion to bring accessible banking services to underserved communities in the Visayas.
Located at Calle Rizal St., Poblacion, the branch offers comprehensive financial products including the flagship Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings Account, which allows account opening for as low as ₱50 with only one valid ID required. The bank also provides affordable personal and business loans alongside expanding digital banking services.
“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. “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.”
The expansion reflects the bank’s strong 2024 performance, recording ₱4.6 billion in total loan disbursements that met targets. Business loans reached ₱1.7 billion (133% of target), while teacher’s loans hit ₱2.4 billion. The bank now manages ₱8.0 billion in total deposits across 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. “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 featured key leaders, including Cebuana Lhuillier Chairman and Founder Ambassador Philippe Jones Lhuillier, President and CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier, and Tanjay City Vice Mayor Atty. Reynil Arcide.
Cebuana Lhuillier Bank invites Tanjay City residents and nearby communities to experience its trusted financial services designed to empower individuals, families, and small businesses across Negros Oriental.
