As more Filipinos connect with opportunities beyond the country’s borders, Cebuana Lhuillier MoneyXchange continues to meet their growing foreign exchange needs through competitive exchange rates, secure transactions, and convenience through its nationwide branch networks. This increasing demand is reflected in Cebuana Lhuillier’s latest customer study, which found that while Filipinos continue to prioritize essential household needs, 22% of respondents allocate part of their budget to overseas travel, making it one of the country’s top discretionary spending priorities alongside retail and shopping.
The growing interest in overseas travel reflects the continued strength of the country’s travel sector. According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), outbound tourism expenditure grew by 3.5% in 2025, the highest growth among all tourism expenditure categories, highlighting that Filipinos continue to invest in international travel. As overseas travel becomes an increasingly important financial priority, the need for convenient, reliable, and accessible foreign exchange services continues to grow.
“Travel has become more than just a leisure activity for many Filipinos, it represents opportunities to reconnect with loved ones, pursue personal aspirations, and explore the world with confidence,” said Jean Henri Lhuillier, President and CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier. “As Filipinos become more globally connected, our mission is to make these opportunities more accessible through competitive rates, secure transactions, and the convenience of our nationwide network.”
