Cebuana Lhuillier History

Cebuana Lhuillier was established by a French consul Henry Lhuillier in the province of Cebu. Based on historical accounts, it appears that Agencia Cebuana has merely stayed local at least until the 70’s and 80’s when it really began to start extending its branches into Metro Manila. It was only in 1987 when Agencia Cebuana was renamed Cebuana Lhuillier. At this point, Philippe Jones Lhuillier got into politics in 1998 and was appointed Philippine Ambassador to Italy while his son Jean Henri Lhuillier headed the company.

As technology is advancing and more types of transactions are becoming available, Jean Henri Lhuillier added other services like money-transfer, remittance, insurance, money changer, account remittance, and other collection services. To maintain customer loyalty, it is also the first among its peers to offer a 24k loyalty card program. So far this program has 5 million members as of 2014. Right now Cebuana Lhuillier can be found almost everywhere: in wet markets, malls, and even near university belts. Branches are found around different provinces and cities. They can be searched by simply typing the right keyword in Google like “Cebuana Lhuillier Antipolo”. Google Maps are one of the places to get a list of branches. Cebuana Lhuillier branches serve as convenient payment points for all Filipinos. All transactions take place online. Cebuana bills payment fees are low and available to everyone.

But money exchange and pawnshops aren’t the only businesses they are involved in. In order to promote their brand, they are also active in sports. They have teams in basketball, softball, and tennis. Its president Jean Henri Lhuillier is currently the manager of the Philippine Davis Cup Team. He is also the chairman of PhiTA or the Philippine Tennis Association. And if that’s not enough yet of a position to hold, he is also the president of the Amateur Softball Association of the Philippines. But of course, they are not the only one with sports teams; other companies from a wide variety of industries also have their own sports teams. So not only are they competing with their peers in business but also in sports.

Cebuana Lhuillier also has its foundation aimed at helping those who are in need like those affected by calamities. It carries out disaster relief operations and medical missions. It also has a scholarship program for an alternative learning system.

Features of Pawnshop Loan

A pawn shop loan is a special type of loan that will require you to submit an item of significant value such as a gadget or jewelry. The amount of money you will get will also depend on the evaluated monetary value of the object you wish to pawn. The more cash you need the more valuable item you need to pawn. In some cases, you might have to pawn multiple items. They will evaluate the item and the estimated value will typically be lower than the item’s original price. It’s like selling them a second hand item. Once they determine the value and you agree to it, you can get the cash you need.

Now, to get it back, you will have to pay for the item, essentially buying it back, but at a higher price because they added interest. Depending on the loan terms, you may pay a high amount that’s why it’s always a good idea to pay back as soon as possible. You may also lose the item if you don’t pay after a given amount of time or depending on the agreement. Cebuana Lhuillier offers this service, you can read more about Cebuana Lhuillier rates on their website.
