“We are excited to open our new Calatagan branch, which coincides with Cebuana Lhuillier Bank’s Silver Jubilee Year. This is aligned with Cebuana Lhuillier’s goal of financially empowering more communities and more Filipinos, especially MSMEs, through our wide range of financial services”, said Jean Henri Lhuillier, Cebuana Lhuillier President and CEO and Cebuana Lhuillier Bank Vice Chairman.
Dennis Valdes, Cebuana Lhuillier Bank President, added, “This new branch is a testament to what Cebuana Lhuillier Bank has succeeded in doing, then and until now: to assist MSMEs and the underserved Filipinos with their banking needs. We look forward to serving them- from deposit accounts loans to remittance services and hope they will discover the many benefits of banking with us just like many others have.”
The opening of the Calatagan branch expands Cebuana Lhuillier Bank’s national network, marking a significant milestone in its growth. Notably, the bank witnessed a substantial rise in customer loans and deposits, showing remarkable surges from 2018 to 2023. Additionally, the Bank secured a considerable portion of Total Basic Deposit Accounts in the Philippines, solidifying its position as one of the most distinguished industry leaders in banking. In the past three years, the Bank has bagged no less than three consecutive wins from 2021 to 2023 as the Rural/Cooperative Bank of the Year at the Asian Banking & Finance (ABF) Awards.
The remarkable performance of Cebuana Lhuillier Bank has, most certainly, transformed the Bank from a rural banking institution into a major player in the national financial landscape.
