Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

If you're earning PHP 100,000 or more per month, you're in one of the strongest refinancing positions in the Philippine market. Banks actively compete for borrowers with your income profile, which means you have genuine leverage to negotiate rates well below what most homeowners are paying today. Yet thousands of high-income professionals are still servicing home loans at 8%, 9%, or even higher — simply because they haven't had the time or the right partner to explore what's available. Nook was built precisely for this situation. We surface the best rates across BDO, BPI, Metrobank, Security Bank, RCBC, UnionBank, and other leading Philippine banks, so you can compare real offers without filling out multiple applications or taking calls from competing sales agents.

For a PHP 6,000,000 home loan — a realistic balance for executives and senior professionals in Metro Manila, Cebu, or Davao — the difference between an 8.50% legacy rate and today's best available rate of 5.99% is not trivial. It translates to over PHP 7,800 in monthly savings and more than PHP 1.4 million over the remaining life of a 20-year loan. That's capital that could be redirected toward a second property, a diversified investment portfolio, or simply greater financial breathing room for your family. If you're self-employed or drawing income from a mix of salary and business earnings, Nook's team also understands how to present your documents compellingly — see our guide on home loan refinancing for self-employed borrowers for what to prepare.

The refinancing process itself is more straightforward than most executives expect, especially when you have a strong income profile and a clean repayment history. Nook handles the bank coordination, document submission, and rate negotiation on your behalf at zero cost to you — our fee is paid by the bank, not the borrower. Whether this is your first time exploring a refinance or you're returning after a previous lock-in period has ended, the first step is the same: find out what rate you actually qualify for today. That number may surprise you.

Common questions

What high-income Filipino homeowners ask us.

Why do banks offer better rates to borrowers earning PHP 100,000 or more?

Banks assess lending risk based on your ability to service debt consistently, and a high, stable income significantly reduces that risk in their eyes. Borrowers with strong income profiles are considered premium clients, which gives them access to preferential rate tiers that aren't widely advertised. Nook helps you present your financial profile in the most competitive way to unlock these rates.

What loan amounts can I refinance if I earn PHP 100,000 per month?

At PHP 100,000 monthly income, most Philippine banks will allow you to refinance a home loan where the monthly amortisation does not exceed 30–40% of your gross income — roughly PHP 30,000 to PHP 40,000 per month. This typically supports outstanding loan balances of PHP 4,000,000 to PHP 7,000,000 or more on a 20-year term, depending on the bank and your other financial obligations. Nook will calculate your exact borrowing capacity as part of the free assessment.

How long does the refinancing process take for executive-level borrowers?

The timeline varies by bank but typically ranges from 4 to 8 weeks from completed document submission to loan release. High-income borrowers with organised financials and clean credit histories tend to move through the process faster, as banks have fewer clarifications to raise. Nook manages the entire process on your behalf, including follow-ups with the bank, so you don't need to take time away from your professional commitments.

Are there refinancing options that allow me to increase my loan amount to access equity?

Yes — this is known as a cash-out refinance, and several Philippine banks offer this facility to qualified borrowers. If your property has appreciated significantly since your original loan, you may be able to refinance at a higher amount than your current outstanding balance and receive the difference in cash, which many executives use for investments, renovations, or business capital. Nook can identify which bank partners currently offer the most favourable cash-out terms for your profile.

Does Nook charge a fee for helping executive borrowers refinance?

Nook's service is 100% free to you as the borrower — there are no consultation fees, application fees, or success fees charged to the homeowner at any stage. Nook is compensated directly by the bank when a loan is successfully facilitated, which is the same referral model used by mortgage brokers in Australia, the UK, and other mature markets. This means you receive full access to Nook's rate comparison, document preparation support, and bank negotiations at no personal cost.

Every month you wait costs you ₱7,837.
