Cebuana Lhuillier Services Corporation, the money remittance arm of PJ Lhuillier Incorporated (PJLI) and a pioneer in implementing
the multiple-partner approach, is now an official agent of RIA Financial Services. RIA is the third-largest global money transfer
company and, in 2007, was a wholly owned subsidiary of Euronet Worldwide Inc. RIA was launched in New York City to primarily
service the Eastern Seaboard and eventually opened offices in Spain, the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Money transfers made
by RIA can now be received through any of the more than 1,500 Cebuana Lhuillier branches nationwide.
“We are very pleased to announce the addition of RIA Financial Services to our growing network of international money remittance
service providers. And as we celebrate Cebuana Lhuillier’s 25th founding year, we promise our clients that we’ll
continue to provide every Filipino here and abroad a Pera Padala experience that is guaranteed fast, reliable, and affordable,”
said Jean Henri Lhuillier, President and CEO of PJ Lhuillier Incorporated.
Founded in 1987 by Ambassador Philippe Jones Lhuillier, Cebuana Lhuillier is set to celebrate its
25th anniversary this year.
Cebuana Lhuillier Pawnshop has been the leading pawnshop chain in the Philippines with over 1,500 branches across the
country—from Aparri to Tawi-Tawi. For 25 years, Cebuana has remained true to its slogan
“Walang Kapantay Magpahalaga” through the incomparable services it offers, including pawning, local and
international remittance, insurance, bills payment, e-load, collection, and foreign exchange. Founded in 1987 by the
current Philippine envoy to Portugal, Ambassador Philippe Jones Lhuillier, Cebuana Lhuillier is currently managed by its
President and CEO, Jean Henri Lhuillier.
