Cebuana Lhuillier assures highest appraisal and security for pawned items. Advance interest will be charged Php4 for every Php100 loan amount. To maintain the excellent standard of service offered by Cebuana Lhuillier, clients will be charged additional one percent (1%) of the principal loan, but not exceeding five pesos (Php5). No other hidden charges will be deducted from the loan.

Cebuana Lhuillier Pawnshop offers a minimum of 90 days upon maturity and a maximum of 4 months on repayment of loan.

Our interest rate for renewed transactions begins at 4% plus 2% liquidated damages and a Php5 service charge.

Representative Example: A Php 10,000.00 renewed loan value for 4 months will have an interest charge of 22% + 15 service charge and mailing fee amounting to Php 2,215 and if for redemption it will have an interest charge of 18% + Php 10 mailing Fee amounting to Php11,810.

Renew Formula:  Principal amount x 22% total interest (Month 1 6% interest + Month 2 6% + Month 3 6% expiry (90 days) + advance interest 4%+)+ P15 (service charge of P5 + Mailing fee (P10)) = Total Renewal Amount

Example: 10,000 x22%+ 15= P2,215

Redeem Formula Principal x 18% + P10+ Principal= Total Redemption Amount

Example: 10,000 x 18% + P10+ (10,000 principal amount) = P11,810

APR = 54% – 66%
