Cebuana Lhuillier has always endeavored to fulfill its vision of empowering Filipinos through financial services anytime, anywhere. From being the country’s most trusted pawnshop to becoming one of the most innovative and largest micro-financial service providers in the Philippines, Cebuana Lhuillier continues to seek financial inclusion and financial mobility for Filipinos as the company launches its latest service, in partnership with Advance – Cebuana Lhuillier Advance.
Cebuana Lhuillier Advance empowers employers to provide on-demand financial assistance to their employees. Companies that enroll in Cebuana Lhuillier Advance, will discover how convenient the program is, as it allows them to provide salary loans to employees without disrupting their firms’ cash flow.

Now, even more companies and employees will benefit from Cebuana Lhuillier Advance. We look forward to the positive impact this product will make towards narrowing the national credit gap.”
Advance is a Philippine-based fintech company that provides on-demand access to credit and other financial solutions to employees and businesses.
