Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

CIMB Bank entered the Philippine market as a digital-first challenger bank, and many borrowers were drawn to their home loan offerings in recent years. However, if you took out your CIMB Bank home loan when fixed-rate periods were higher — or if your loan has repriced to a variable rate — there is a strong chance you are now paying significantly more than you need to. With refinance rates as low as 5.99% p.a. now available through Nook, switching your mortgage could put thousands of pesos back in your pocket every single month. You can check current mortgage interest rates in the Philippines to see exactly how your CIMB rate stacks up against the competition right now.

Refinancing a CIMB Bank home loan works by replacing your existing mortgage with a new loan from a bank offering better terms. Nook compares offers across the Philippines' leading banks — including BDO, BPI, Security Bank, RCBC, Metrobank, and more — to find you the lowest available rate for your specific loan amount and profile. The entire process is handled digitally, and Nook's service costs you absolutely nothing. There are no broker fees, no hidden charges, and no obligation to proceed until you are fully satisfied with the offer. If you are also weighing up other lenders, our BPI housing loan requirements guide is a useful reference for understanding what Philippine banks typically look for in a refinance applicant.

The savings on a 3,000,000 loan refinanced from 8.50% to 5.99% over a 20-year remaining term speak for themselves: more than 3,000 pesos freed up every month, and over 550,000 pesos saved across the life of the loan. Even after accounting for standard switching costs such as appraisal fees and documentary stamp tax, most borrowers reach their break-even point within 12 to 18 months — and everything after that is pure savings. If your CIMB Bank home loan is at least 12 months old and your property has reasonable equity, you are very likely eligible to refinance today.

Common questions

What CIMB Bank home loan borrowers ask us.

Can I refinance my CIMB Bank home loan to a different bank?

Yes, absolutely. Refinancing involves fully paying off your CIMB Bank loan using a new loan from another bank that offers a lower interest rate. This is a standard and widely practised process in the Philippines, and most major banks actively welcome refinance applications from borrowers currently with other lenders.

How much can I save by refinancing my CIMB Bank home loan?

On a 3,000,000 loan with a 20-year remaining term, switching from 8.50% to 5.99% saves approximately 3,069 per month and over 552,000 over the life of the loan. Your actual savings will depend on your outstanding balance, remaining term, and the rate you qualify for — Nook can give you a personalised estimate for free.

Is there a penalty for refinancing out of CIMB Bank?

Many Philippine home loans include a pre-termination or prepayment penalty, typically applicable within the first few years of the loan or during a fixed-rate lock-in period. You should review your CIMB Bank loan agreement or contact them directly to confirm whether any penalty applies to your specific loan before proceeding.

How long does the refinancing process take?

The typical refinancing timeline in the Philippines is between 30 and 60 days from submission of a complete application. Nook streamlines the process by helping you prepare your documents and submitting to multiple banks simultaneously, which reduces delays and ensures you get the fastest possible turnaround.

Does Nook charge any fees to help me refinance my CIMB Bank home loan?

No — Nook's service is completely free for borrowers. Nook is compensated by the bank once your refinance is successfully completed, meaning you benefit from professional mortgage broking without paying a single peso for it. The only costs you will encounter are standard bank processing fees such as appraisal and documentary stamp tax, which apply regardless of which channel you use.

Every month you wait costs you ₱3,069.
