Why this matters
CTBC Bank is a Taiwanese-owned bank that operates in the Philippines and offers home loans to local borrowers. While CTBC can be a solid option when you first purchase, their refinancing options are limited compared to the broader Philippine banking market. Once your fixed-rate lock-in period ends — typically after one to three years — your rate often reprices upward, leaving you paying well above what local banks are currently offering. With today's competitive mortgage rates in the Philippines starting as low as 5.99% p.a. through Nook, the gap between what you're paying and what you could be paying is often significant.
Refinancing your CTBC home loan to a local bank like BPI, Security Bank, or BDO is more straightforward than most homeowners expect. The process involves applying for a new loan with a lower-rate lender, who then pays off your existing CTBC balance and takes over as your mortgage provider. You'll need standard documents — proof of income, your latest Statement of Account from CTBC, property title, and tax declarations — and Nook guides you through each step at no cost to you. Many borrowers who refinance from a foreign-affiliated bank to a major local institution save between 1.5% and 3% on their interest rate, which on a ₱3,000,000 loan translates to tens of thousands of pesos in annual savings.
The key window to act is before CTBC's repricing takes effect — but even if it already has, refinancing now locks in a lower rate going forward and stops the bleeding immediately. Nook handles the bank comparisons, paperwork coordination, and negotiation on your behalf, so you don't have to approach multiple banks separately. Whether you're considering refinancing to BPI or exploring other lenders, Nook surfaces the best available offer for your specific loan size, term, and income profile.

Common questions
Yes, absolutely. Refinancing from CTBC Bank to a local Philippine lender like BPI, BDO, Security Bank, or Metrobank is a standard process. The new bank settles your outstanding CTBC balance and issues you a new loan at a lower interest rate, with new terms agreed upon at closing.
CTBC Bank, like most lenders, may charge a pre-termination fee if you refinance during your fixed-rate lock-in period — this is typically 2% to 4% of the outstanding balance. However, once your lock-in period ends, you can usually refinance penalty-free. Nook will help you calculate whether the savings outweigh any exit fees before you commit.
Through Nook, the best available refinance rates currently start at 5.99% p.a. for a fixed term, compared to the 8% to 9% that many CTBC borrowers are paying after repricing. Your actual rate will depend on your loan amount, remaining term, and the lender's credit assessment.
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. Nook coordinates directly with the bank on your behalf to keep things moving and minimize delays.
