The COVID-19 pandemic has affected more than 12 million people around the world and has claimed the lives of more than 500,000 individuals. The surge of infected individuals has prompted and pushed countries across the globe to observe physical and social distancing and eventually imposed lockdowns when it proved to be difficult. Lockdowns, which were called Community Quarantines in the Philippines, have halted not only the lives of the people but also their livelihood.

Given that only essential services and businesses are left functioning such as supermarkets, grocery stores, pharmacies and banks and more than seven million Filipino workers are displaced with thousands stranded following the temporary halt of public transportation, financial services are becoming crucial to the larger population. Access to these services is becoming a challenge since going out of the house poses threats without following strict health protocols and movement is limited with community quarantine in place.

The situation has prompted a shift to digital transactions and expanded use of the digital space as well. As an answer to this intriguing situation amidst the continuing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, microfinancial services giant Cebuana Lhuillier has implemented a new service that will allow its clients to send money from the comforts of their own homes. "This is one way that Cebuana Lhuillier has adapted to the challenges posed by the pandemic, our Remit-From-Home service makes it much easier and safer for our clients to help their loved ones weather this storm. Cebuana Lhuillier has been and will be with the Filipinos whatever the challenge they be," said Cebuana Lhuillier president and CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier.

Cebuana Lhuillier's Remit-From-Home service allows clients to send money without having to leave their homes and going to the nearest Cebuana Lhuillier branch in their area but instead does their transactions online with the help of Cebuana Lhuillier agents. It is no different from any branch transaction and carries the same safe and secured money transfer service that Cebuana is known for. Clients can access the Remit-From-Home service by logging on to https://remitfromhome.cebuanalhuillier.com and accessing the electronic form for remittance or via the eCebuana mobile app through Instapay.
