BDO REFINANCE SAVINGS ESTIMATE
No commitment. No credit check. Just your numbers.
Why this matters
If you took out a BDO home loan two or more years ago, there's a good chance your current interest rate no longer reflects what's available in the market. BDO, like most Philippine banks, reprices home loans periodically — and many borrowers find themselves locked into rates between 7.5% and 10% long after better options have emerged. The good news is that refinancing your BDO home loan is entirely possible, and with the right guidance it doesn't have to be complicated. You can review BDO's current home loan interest rates for 2026 to see exactly where your rate stands today.
Refinancing works by replacing your existing home loan with a new one — either with BDO itself or with another lender offering more competitive terms. The goal is simple: lower your interest rate, reduce your monthly amortisation, and free up cash for everything else in your life. On a 3,000,000 peso loan with a remaining term of 20 years, moving from 8.50% down to 5.99% can cut your monthly payment by over 4,000 pesos. That's more than 48,000 pesos back in your pocket every year. Nook compares offers from BDO and over a dozen other Philippine banks simultaneously — so you always see the full picture before you decide. BDO is a Nook partner bank, offering a competitive 1-year fixed rate of 6.00% p.a., with approval typically within 30 days and a minimum monthly income requirement of 50,000 pesos.
One concern many homeowners have is paperwork — and it's a fair one. Refinancing does involve documentation, bank coordination, and fees like appraisal costs and legal fees. But Nook's licensed mortgage brokers handle the entire process on your behalf, from comparing lenders to preparing your application and following up with the bank. Our service is completely free to borrowers. If you want to understand what documents you'll need before you begin, check out the complete guide to BDO housing loan requirements in the Philippines.

Note: interest rates are subject to change — always verify the latest rates directly with your lender or through Nook before making a decision.

Common questions
Yes, absolutely. You are not required to stay with BDO when you refinance — you can switch to any bank that offers better terms for your situation. The new lender pays off your outstanding BDO balance and you begin repaying the new bank under the updated rate and terms. Nook compares offers from BDO and multiple other Philippine banks so you can choose the best deal available to you.
Typical refinancing costs in the Philippines include an appraisal fee (around 3,500 to 6,000 pesos), notarial and registration fees, and mortgage redemption insurance. Some banks also charge a documentary stamp tax on the new loan. These one-time costs are usually recovered within the first year of savings from your lower monthly payment — and Nook's broker service is 100% free to borrowers.
The best refinance rate currently available through Nook is 5.99% p.a., which is significantly lower than the 7.5% to 10% range many BDO borrowers are paying today. BDO itself is a Nook partner bank and offers a competitive 1-year fixed rate of 6.00% p.a. for refinancing. Your actual rate will depend on your loan amount, remaining term, and financial profile.
The refinancing process typically takes 30 to 60 days from application to loan release, depending on the receiving bank and how quickly documents are submitted. BDO's typical approval timeline is around 30 days. Nook helps speed up the process by preparing your documents correctly the first time and following up with the bank on your behalf.
Many Philippine banks, including BDO, may charge a pre-termination or early payoff fee if you refinance during a fixed-rate lock-in period — this is typically 2% to 3% of the outstanding loan balance. It's important to check your loan contract or ask BDO directly about any applicable penalties before proceeding. Nook's mortgage brokers can help you calculate whether the savings from refinancing still outweigh the penalty cost in your specific case.
