LBC Express, Philippines' leading courier and cargo solutions provider, has partnered with FGB, one of the UAE's leading financial institutions, to offer its customers an instalment payment scheme at zero per cent interest for cargo services. This programme is the first of its kind in the UAE.
LBC's vice-president for the Middle East, Mark Agalo-os, said: "We are proud to announce our tie-up with FGB, allowing customers to settle cargo services in easy instalment payments using their FGB credit cards."
The instalment payment scheme is available for sea cargo, air cargo, Express Air and rest of the world services. UAE residents can take advantage of this service to send packages to 236 destinations across the globe.
Girish Advani, head of Personal Banking, FGB, said: "As part of FGB's commitment to provide the best innovative products and services to our customers, it is a privilege to collaborate with LBC Express to offer an accessible payment scheme for cargo services for all UAE residents. This innovative product, which is the first of its kind in the UAE, provides customers with convenient payment terms for courier services based on their preferred instalment plan."
"As we continue to present better user experiences, consumers of this service also have the added advantage of a simple fee structure, enabling them to send packages to families and loved ones without having to worry about making an upfront payment," Advani added.
Customers can choose to pay within three, six, nine or 12 months. "Our valued clients can send as many packages and parcels, as well as choose from any of the monthly payment options for a minimum requirement of AED 150. It is like easily sending cargo for less than Dh15 per month up to 12-month instalment," Agalo-os said.
FGB credit card customers can now redeem their earned reward points against LBC discount vouchers as part of the FGB Rewards programme.
"LBC Express has always been a customer-centric organisation and working to offer UAE residents world-class services along with best industry rates. Our new scheme makes our proposition far more exciting," Agalo-os added.
LBC Express has presence in over 25 countries worldwide including the Middle East.
The region contributes more than 25 per cent of the retail international business, attributing close to half of the sales from the UAE. The company covers five countries and operates nine branches in the region, including three in the UAE, three in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, one in Kuwait, one in Qatar and one in Bahrain, in addition to an agent network base in 1,000 locations throughout Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
