Our partnership with Cebuana Lhuillier as our new payment facility partner will further make bills payment more convenient to our customers because of the number of Cebuana Lhuillier branches nationwide.

With the agreement, Dela Cruz said their customers can now pay their outstanding and current bills at all Cebuana Lhuillier branches.

“We are very happy to be part of this exciting new venture with China Bank Savings. Through this new partnership, more Filipinos in the provinces can easily receive money from their relatives who are based in Metro Manila.

“Working with our trusted partners such as China Bank Savings enables us to empower Filipinos in the provinces so that they can enjoy the same financial services as those in the cities,” said Cebuana Lhuillier Services Corporation General Manager Noel Cristal.

This remittance partnership complements Cebuana Lhuillier’s own money remittance service.
