Why this matters
With so many banks offering home loans in the Philippines — BDO, BPI, Security Bank, Metrobank, PNB, RCBC, UnionBank, Chinabank, PSBank, EastWest, and more — knowing who actually offers the best rate is surprisingly difficult. Banks rarely advertise their real rates upfront, promotional rates often apply only for the first fixing period, and the fine print on fees can easily wipe out what looks like a great deal on paper. That's why simply googling "best home loan rates Philippines" rarely gives you the full picture. If you're already paying a rate above 7%, there's a strong chance you're not with the most competitive lender for your situation — and refinancing could be one of the most valuable financial moves you make this year.
Right now, the lowest refinance rates available through Nook sit at 5.99% p.a. — well below the 8% to 10% that many existing borrowers are stuck on. The difference is significant: on a 3,000,000 loan with 20 years remaining, moving from 8.50% to 5.99% saves nearly 4,000 pesos every month. Over the life of the loan, that's more than 700,000 pesos in your pocket instead of your bank's. If you're curious how the two biggest lenders compare head-to-head, our BDO vs BPI housing loan interest rate comparison breaks down exactly which bank comes out ahead and under what conditions.
Nook is the Philippines' first digital mortgage broker, and our service is completely free to borrowers. We search across multiple banks simultaneously to find the lowest rate you actually qualify for — not just the advertised headline rate. Whether your loan is with BDO, BPI, Metrobank, Security Bank, or any other major lender, we'll show you whether you're on a competitive rate or leaving serious money on the table. If you're comparing your current bank against alternatives, it's also worth reading our Security Bank vs BDO home loan rate comparison to see how two of the country's most popular lenders stack up for refinancing borrowers.

Common questions
The lowest rates available change regularly and depend on your loan amount, term, and borrower profile — which is why there's no single "best" bank for everyone. Through Nook, the lowest refinance rate currently available is 5.99% p.a., and we compare offers across multiple banks simultaneously so you get the best rate you actually qualify for, not just the advertised one.
Anything below 6.50% p.a. is considered very competitive for the current market. Most existing borrowers are paying somewhere between 7% and 10%, especially if their loan is more than two years old and hasn't been refinanced. If your rate is above 7%, it's worth checking whether you can refinance to a lower rate — even a 1% reduction on a 3,000,000 loan saves over 200,000 pesos over 20 years.
In most cases, yes — especially if your remaining loan balance is above 1,500,000 and you have more than 10 years left on your term. The monthly savings from a lower rate typically outweigh the one-time costs of refinancing within 12 to 24 months. Nook will calculate your exact break-even point so you can make a fully informed decision before committing to anything.
No — Nook's service is 100% free to borrowers. We're compensated by the banks when a loan is successfully placed, which means you get expert guidance and a full market comparison at no cost to you. There are no hidden fees, no obligation to proceed, and no impact on your credit score just from checking your options.
The full refinancing process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from application to loan release, depending on the bank and how quickly documents are submitted. Nook helps streamline this by managing the paperwork, coordinating with your new lender, and keeping you updated at every step — so you're not chasing banks on your own.
