One of the most active rural banks in the Philippines, Cebuana Lhuillier Bank, announced a strategic partnership with Temenos, the world’s leading open platform for composable banking, to update its core banking platform.
This is a big step toward changing how rural banks work in the country.
Cebuana Lhuillier Bank’s dedication to financial equality is vital to this partnership.
Cebuana Lhuillier Bank, which serves more than seven million Filipinos, can easily monitor customer accounts and make lending products like motorcycles and salary loans more accessible with Temenos’ core banking platform. This makes the banking experience for customers easier and more seamless.
“Cebuana Lhuillier’s commitment to financial inclusion remains steadfast. In a nation where access to reliable financial services is paramount, this collaboration strengthens our resolve to provide better services, products, and opportunities for Filipinos to create meaningful change,” commented Jean Henri Lhuillier, President & CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier and Vice Chairman of Cebuana Lhuillier Bank.
With the help of the Temenos solution, this relationship also ensures that Cebuana Lhuillier Bank can quickly adapt to changing market conditions and local regulatory solutions and meet the changing needs of its valued customers.
Due to fast technological progress, the financial business is always changing.
Our job is to meet and go beyond what our clients expect as their needs change. “This alliance shows that we are determined to embrace new ideas and change how our valued customers bank,” said Dennis Valdes, President of Cebuana Lhuillier Bank.
