YOUR POTENTIAL DBP SAVINGS
No commitment. No credit check. Just your numbers.
Why this matters
DBP (Development Bank of the Philippines) is a government financial institution primarily focused on development lending — infrastructure, agribusiness, and SME finance. While DBP does offer housing loans, their home loan products are not their core business, which often means their rates and terms are less competitive than private banks actively competing for mortgage customers. Many DBP borrowers find themselves locked into rates between 8% and 9.5% p.a., well above what the market currently offers. You can check current mortgage interest rates in the Philippines to see exactly how your DBP rate compares to what's available today.
Refinancing a DBP home loan works the same way as refinancing from any other lender. A new bank pays off your outstanding DBP balance and issues you a fresh loan at a lower interest rate. Because DBP is a government bank, some borrowers assume the refinancing process is more complex — but in practice, the documentary requirements are largely the same as any standard home loan transfer. The key is finding the right receiving bank and ensuring your property title and loan account are in good standing before you apply.

Common questions
Yes, refinancing from DBP to a private bank is entirely possible and is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce your monthly mortgage payments. Private banks like BDO, BPI, Metrobank, and Security Bank actively accept loan transfers from government lenders including DBP. The receiving bank will settle your outstanding DBP balance directly, and you simply continue repayments under your new, lower-rate loan.
You will typically need your latest DBP Statement of Account showing your outstanding balance and payment history, a copy of your Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) or Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT), recent payslips or proof of income, and a copy of your DBP loan disclosure statement. Your Nook advisor will give you a complete checklist based on the specific bank you are applying to, so nothing is missed.
DBP, like most Philippine lenders, may charge a prepayment penalty if you settle your loan before the end of a fixed-rate period. The fee is typically 1% to 3% of the outstanding principal. It is important to check your DBP loan agreement for the exact terms, but in most cases the long-term interest savings from refinancing still far outweigh any one-time penalty you might incur.
The refinancing process typically takes between 4 and 8 weeks from application to loan release, depending on the receiving bank and how quickly documents are compiled. The longest part is usually title verification and property appraisal by the new bank. Starting early and having all your documents in order from the beginning can significantly speed things up.
