According to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), only 48% of Filipinos save. There are 7 out of 10 Filipinos who rather keep their money at home in piggy bank or some sort of money box with lock. There are many reasons why a lot of us don't open a bank account that includes numerous requirements and high maintaining balance.

Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings is an interest-bearing savings product owned by Cebuana Lhuillier Rural Bank (CLRB), a savings account that allows client to save up to P50,000 which can be accessed through the Cebuana 24k card.Jean Henri Lhuillier, President & CEO PJ Lhuillier Group of Companies |
