Cebuana Lhuillier Bank is accelerating its expansion in 2025, further solidifying its position as a formidable player in the country’s financial sector. With a steadfast commitment to financial inclusion, the bank continues to break barriers, making banking services more accessible to Filipinos nationwide. As of 2024, Cebuana Lhuillier Bank operates eight branches across the country—and this is just the beginning.
Over the past year, the bank has made bold strides in growing its network, opening three new branches in some of the country’s most dynamic economic hubs: Davao City and General Santos City in Mindanao and Angeles, Pampanga in Luzon. These strategic locations reinforce Cebuana Lhuillier Bank’s mission to reach more Filipinos, particularly in high-growth areas where financial services are crucial for individuals and businesses alike. More than just expanding its footprint, the bank is reshaping financial accessibility, ensuring that banking is no longer a privilege but a right that every Filipino can easily access.
Riding on this momentum, Cebuana Lhuillier Bank is set to launch another wave of expansion in 2025. First on the list is Tanjay, Negros Oriental, opening in the second quarter of the year. This move strengthens the bank’s presence in the Visayas region, further extending its reach to underserved communities that will benefit from a strong, reliable financial partner. And the growth doesn’t stop there—two more branches are slated to open this year, reinforcing Cebuana Lhuillier Bank’s aggressive strategy to dominate the financial landscape.
Jean Henri Lhuillier, President and CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier, expressed his confidence in the bank’s continued expansion: “Cebuana Lhuillier Bank is not just growing—we are revolutionizing the way banking is done in the Philippines. Our expansion is a direct response to the needs of Filipinos who deserve accessible, relevant, and inclusive financial services. Every new branch is a testament to our mission of driving financial empowerment, and we are committed to pushing even further in 2025.”
Dennis Valdes, President of Cebuana Lhuillier Bank, echoed this vision, emphasizing the bank’s aggressive stance on growth. “This is a turning point not just for Cebuana Lhuillier Bank but for the entire industry. Our expansion is more than just adding locations—it is about making a lasting impact on communities, strengthening financial inclusion, and proving that banking should be within reach of every Filipino. With more branches in the pipeline, we are well on our way to reshaping the financial sector and reinforcing our position as a trusted leader in banking.”
With this bold expansion strategy, Cebuana Lhuillier Bank is setting new standards for accessibility, reliability, and financial inclusion. By continuously growing its network and enhancing its banking solutions, the bank is not just keeping up with the evolving financial landscape—it is actively shaping the future of banking in the Philippines.
