COTABATO CITY SAVINGS ESTIMATE
No commitment. No credit check. Just your numbers.
Why this matters
Cotabato City is one of Mindanao's fastest-growing urban centers, and with rising property values in areas like Poblacion and Rosary Heights, many homeowners now hold significant equity in their homes. If you took out your home loan more than two years ago — whether through BDO, BPI, Metrobank, Landbank, or Pag-IBIG — there is a strong chance your current interest rate is between 8% and 10%, well above the best rates available in the market today. Refinancing simply means replacing your existing loan with a new one at a lower rate, and it can make a dramatic difference to your monthly cash flow.
Through Nook, the Philippines' first digital mortgage broker, Cotabato City homeowners can access rates starting at 5.99% p.a. from multiple competing banks — all in one free application. On a 3,000,000 peso loan with 20 years remaining, the difference between 8.50% and 5.99% translates to over 4,500 pesos back in your pocket every single month. That is money that stays in Mindanao, whether you reinvest it locally, pay down other obligations, or simply improve your family's financial breathing room. While much of the refinancing conversation tends to focus on Metro Manila — such as home loan rates in Makati — the savings opportunity is just as real for homeowners here in Cotabato City.
Nook's service is completely free for borrowers. There are no broker fees, no hidden charges, and no obligation to proceed after you receive your quote.

If you have been putting off refinancing because it seemed complicated or expensive, Nook was built specifically to remove those barriers for Filipino homeowners everywhere, including right here in Cotabato City.
