Why this matters
CTBC Bank Philippines offers housing loans to qualified borrowers, but like most Philippine banks, their repricing cycles mean your rate may not have kept pace with what's available in the market today. Many CTBC borrowers locked in rates of 8% to 9% or higher — rates that made sense at the time but now cost them tens of thousands of pesos a year more than necessary. Refinancing is the straightforward fix: you move your outstanding loan balance to a lender offering a lower rate, reduce your monthly amortisation, and keep the difference in your pocket.
Nook is the Philippines' first digital mortgage broker, and we work with over a dozen banks to find you the lowest available rate — currently as low as 5.99% p.a. On a 3,000,000 peso loan with 20 years remaining, that difference in rate translates to more than 4,000 pesos saved every month. Over the life of your loan, that's real money that could go toward your children's education, home improvements, or building your savings. You can check current mortgage rates in the Philippines to see exactly how much room there is between what you're paying now and what's available through Nook.
The refinancing process is simpler than most homeowners expect, and Nook's service is completely free to borrowers — we're compensated by the bank, not you. You won't need to deal with multiple banks, fill out the same forms repeatedly, or guess which lender will give you the best deal. Our team handles the comparison and paperwork on your behalf. If you're curious about what documents you'll need, the process is similar to a standard home loan application — you can see what major lenders typically require by reviewing the BPI housing loan requirements guide as a helpful reference point.

Common questions
Yes, you can refinance your existing CTBC Bank housing loan with any participating bank in the Philippines. Refinancing simply means a new lender pays off your outstanding CTBC balance and issues you a new loan at a lower interest rate. Nook works with over a dozen banks to find the most competitive offer for your specific loan amount and profile.
The savings depend on your outstanding balance, remaining term, and the rate gap between your current CTBC loan and the new rate you qualify for. On a 3,000,000 peso loan at 8.50% refinanced to 5.99%, you'd save roughly 4,479 pesos per month — that's over 53,000 pesos a year. Use Nook's free calculator to get a personalised estimate based on your actual numbers.
Some banks charge an early settlement or pre-termination fee if you exit during a fixed-rate lock-in period — typically 1% to 2% of the outstanding balance. You should check your CTBC loan agreement or contact your branch to confirm if any penalty applies. Even when a fee is involved, the monthly savings from a lower rate usually recover the cost within one to two years.
The typical refinancing timeline in the Philippines is 30 to 60 days from application to loan release, depending on how quickly documents are submitted and the bank's processing speed. Nook streamlines this by guiding you through each step and liaising directly with the bank on your behalf. Most borrowers find the process far less stressful than their original home loan application.
No — Nook's service is completely free to borrowers. Nook is compensated by the bank once your refinancing is successfully completed, so there is no cost to you at any stage of the process. You get independent access to multiple lenders and expert guidance without paying a single peso in broker fees.
