  • 5 million Filipinos now have Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings

    5 million Filipinos now have Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings

    There are now more than 5 million Filipinos who have a Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings account. This landmark achievement by Cebuana Lhuillier Rural Bank (CLRB), the banking arm of the leading micro-financial services company in the country, Cebuana Lhuillier, comes after the launch of the leveled up Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings product in December of last year.

    “We are elated that there are more and more Filipinos every day who are realizing the importance of saving and are taking charge of their future. It is very exciting that these 5 million Micro Savings account holders are not only on the first step to financial wellness, but because of our amped up product, are also Financially Mobile individuals.” said Cebuana Lhuillier President and CEO, Jean Henri Lhuillier.

    The Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings was launched in February 2019 as a basic deposit account that eliminated the need for numerous documentary requirements and maintaining balance or dormancy charges. The product was made available at Cebuana Lhuillier’s more than 2,500 branches as it acted as CLRB’s cash agent.

    Recently, as an enhancement to the product, Cebuana Lhuillier Rural Bank mounted Discover Your Ipon Power: The Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings 2.0 Launch which unveiled new features for the Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings product. These features are: (1) Cashless Payment possible through UnionPay, (2) ATM access powered by BancNet, (3) Online Transactions made easier through the eCebuana app, and (4) QR Technology.

    ‘Iponaryos’  are now even more empowered to take command of their future because of the transformation of their Micro Savings account from just a basic cash deposit account to an even more powerful and reliable, full-service savings account. 

    Through their partnership with  BancNet, they now have unrivalled access to their finances beyond CLRB’s cash agent, Cebuana Lhuillier’s more than 2,500 branches nationwide, this is possible through BancNet’s roster of 21,000 ATMs, and 114 member banks.

    The bank’s tie-up with UnionPay further allows account holders to make debit payments through over 350,000 POS terminals, as well as partner merchants nationwide. ‘Iponaryos’ can now get the benefit of an enhanced payment security with UnionPay chip cards’ quick payment process with just a tap, using UnionPay Contactless technology.

    KaCebuanas also have full online access with the use of the more efficient and more powerful eCebuana app which allows money transfers via Instapay, bills and utility payments, eLoad, and insurance purchase,the application will be even more powered thanks to new features such as the pawning ticket renewal and jewelry purchases. All these are made even more convenient since the adoption of online sign ups, which is now possible in the eCebuana app.

    Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings further steps into the future by enabling QR Technology within the eCebuana app. This feature will also be able to make money transfers and retail payments seamless and secure.

    “5 million Filipinos are taking a step further into a promising future with our powered up Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings, we are confident that even more Filipinos will soon take hold of their Ipon Power.” added Dennis Valdes, President of the Cebuana Lhuillier Rural Bank.

  • Samsung’s 3-Stage Security in Smart TVs ensures no backdoor for potential cyber threats

    Samsung’s 3-Stage Security in Smart TVs ensures no backdoor for potential cyber threats

    Smart devices have become such common household items that in the near future, having a fully smart home will be the norm rather than a mere luxury. But with developers rushing to release buzz-worthy gadgets to the market, security features sometimes take a backseat, leaving them vulnerable to threats, like data exfiltration and cyber breachers.

    The privacy of Smart TVs has recently been highlighted, with reports in the United States that some TV manufacturers have a backdoor ‘security flaw’, placing user’s data at risk. To prevent such attacks, Samsung employs the latest cutting-edge technologies and layers of security to ensure the best possible protection for sensitive user data.

    Important information, such as usernames, passwords, and email addresses, need to be secure at all times in all the devices. In its bid to protect such sensitive data, Samsung guarantees that their Smart TVs have no security-bypassing backdoors left open to any form of cyber-attack with its 3-Stage Model Security Care Service Solution.

    Here are the 3 separate stages of security that keep user data information protected and secure in 2020 Samsung Smart TVs:

    • Service Security Stage: This is the first layer of security for 2020 Samsung Smart TVs. In this stage, intruders cannot attack a user’s network as it blocks phishing sites on the Internet from accessing devices where the data are stored. An added security bonus is that this layer of security detects any form of intrusion from malicious codes.
    • Platform Security Stage: In this layer of security, important data – such as your user account and password information – is encrypted prior to its storage. Through a standardized encryption process, the data stored remains protected when communicating with external servers to prevent hackers from stealing user information. The Platform Security Stage likewise detects and blocks any malicious apps and unauthorized files trying to access devices.
    • Hardware Security Stage: In this final security stage, information leaks are prevented by physically segregating operational spaces at the hardware level. A Smart TV’s operating system (OS) and services remain protected so the device can boot safely.

    Some security features, on the other hand, may vary depending on a TV’s model and the year it was released.

    In this day and age, cybersecurity terrorists are merely waiting for the opportunity to pounce and attack on vulnerable devices and platforms. While such threats may seem scary, Samsung’s independent, reliable, and powerful Security Care Service ensures that no vulnerability is left out in the open.

  • Shopee Rolls Out Co-Streaming Feature to Level Up Interaction for Filipino Shoppers on Shopee Live

    Shopee Rolls Out Co-Streaming Feature to Level Up Interaction for Filipino Shoppers on Shopee Live

    Shopee Live streamers highlight key features, customer engagement strategies, and preparations for the 3.3 – 4.4 Mega Shopping Sale, Shopee’s first mega sale of the year.

    With more people turning to online platforms for their needs, brands and sellers are turning to entertainment features such as live streams to give consumers an engaging and fun shopping experience. Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, provides shoppers a more interactive online buying experience through the new co-streaming feature on Shopee Live, which allows live stream hosts to co-stream with one of their viewers for a more interactive experience. 

    Hear from our two live streamers on how they are maximizing Shopee Live for this 3.3 – 4.4 Mega Shopping Sale: 

    Miccolo Solis, Shopee seller and influencer, shared that he uses the poll feature the most. “It helps me engage with viewers. I can check their opinion on certain topics, especially about the products,” said Solis. Polls also allow him to inquire about his customers’ specific requests, budget range, and preferred styles. In addition, Solis also hosts games on Shopee Live to keep his viewers interested. 

    For fellow influencer Quinito Villarosa, it’s the latest ‘Mine’ feature that gives him feedback on what content customers want to see next, or what items they want to see featured or reviewed. To maintain a strong relationship with viewers, Villarosa connects with them even after the live stream ends. “I do a lot of ‘OffLive’ engagement. I still interact with them after the live streams, usually inside the many group chats we have on Facebook Messenger and even Instagram,” said Villarosa.

    Solis is excited to utilize the new Shopee Live Co-streaming feature as it gives him the opportunity to interact directly with viewers, making the live stream session more fun, enjoyable, and engaging. Villarosa, on the other hand, is already prepping for his next live stream. “I’m already asking my viewers what they want to see during my live stream so I can order it ahead of time. Being able to hold the items personally makes for a more interactive live stream experience,” he said.

    With in-app features like Shopee Live, Shopee continues to improve the platform to make e-commerce more accessible and engaging for everyone. Solis and Villarosa encouraged other influencers to take advantage of Shopee Live and its many features as well. “Just do it, it always starts with one step. Make it a habit and always enjoy the live videos. Watch other live streamers, observe what they are doing, and apply best practices to your own live stream,” said Solis. 

    Villarosa added that doing live streams is an opportunity to widen their networks. “Every day I wake up feeling blessed with this opportunity. I literally meet new people each time I open the Shopee app and prepare for another run of live streaming.”

    Shopee 3.3 – 4.4 Mega Shopping Sale

    The Shopee 3.3 – 4.4 Mega Shopping Sale, which runs until April 4, 2021, will feature up to 70% off on authentic brands such as Havaianas Philippines, Huggies Philippines, Realme, P&G Beauty, Pampers, Nestlé, Garnier, Enfagrow, Unilever Beauty, Vivo, and Xiaomi, on Shopee Mall.

    Samsung Named No.1 Global TV Manufacturer for 15 Consecutive Years

    New industry report affirms 15 years of industry-leading innovation, positioning Samsung at forefront of TV industry.

Newly released data published recently notes that Samsung Electronics recorded 31.8% in global TV market share by revenue in Q4 2020 and retained the largest annual category market share by revenue in 2020, at 31.9%.

    Samsung’s growth across the Visual Display Business reflects a commitment to the most premium at-home viewing experiences, coupled with the fast-growing QLED portfolio, category leadership in the ultra large screen segment over 75-inches, the introduction and expansion of a Lifestyle TV portfolio, and a series of industry, category and product “firsts” made possible thanks to Samsung’s constant drive for innovation.

And we have seen how different lifestyles and routines have not only evolved, but converged,” said Jong-hee Han, President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We continue to be incredibly humbled by the trust placed in our vision and products; it is what drives our relentless pursuit to deliver cutting-edge innovation and a best-in-class screen experience that meets the needs of the modern-day consumer.”

    Looking back over the last 15 years, Samsung’s innovation-led growth agenda has incorporated groundbreaking new technologies, while spanning multiple categories, reaching a wide range of consumers and use cases.

    In 2021, Samsung expects to maintain its industry-leading market position with the introduction and expansion of core products and by incorporating proprietary technology and features across all TV lineups. This includes Samsung’s new Neo QLED lineup along with Samsung’s MICRO LED, Lifestyle TVs and a company-wide alignment of operations through long-term sustainability programs. Over the next few years, Samsung will continue to invest more in R&D and product development in strategic business areas to further strengthen its core and emerging technology offers.
