Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

The Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) has long been a trusted source of housing finance for Filipino professionals, OFWs, and government employees. But like most bank loans repriced on fixed terms, your DBP housing loan rate may no longer reflect what the market can offer today. Many DBP borrowers locked in rates of 8% to 9.5% during previous repricing cycles — and have been paying those rates ever since without knowing a better option exists.

Refinancing your DBP housing loan means transferring your outstanding balance to a new lender offering a significantly lower interest rate. Through Nook, the Philippines' first digital mortgage broker, you can compare refinancing offers from multiple banks — including BDO, BPI, Security Bank, Metrobank, and more — all in one place, at zero cost to you. To understand how today's rates compare to what you're currently paying, check out our guide to current mortgage interest rates in the Philippines. The difference can translate to thousands of pesos in monthly savings over the remaining life of your loan.

The refinancing process through Nook is straightforward and fully digital. You submit your details once, and our team handles the lender comparison and application coordination on your behalf. Whether you have 10 or 20 years remaining on your DBP loan, it's worth finding out exactly how much you could save. Most applicants are surprised by the numbers — and the fact that it costs them nothing to find out.

Common questions

What DBP housing loan borrowers ask us.

Can I really refinance my DBP housing loan with a private bank?

Yes, absolutely. DBP housing loans are eligible for refinancing with private commercial banks just like any other home loan in the Philippines. The process involves paying off your outstanding DBP balance with a new loan from a participating lender offering a lower rate. Nook helps you find and apply for the best available offer without any broker fees.

How much does it cost to refinance through Nook?

Nook's service is completely free to borrowers — you pay nothing for our comparison or application support. The only costs involved in refinancing are standard bank fees such as appraisal, notarial, and documentary stamp tax, which are typical of any home loan transaction in the Philippines. We're transparent about these upfront so there are no surprises.

What interest rate can I get when I refinance my DBP loan?

The best refinance rate currently available through Nook is 5.99% per annum, subject to bank approval and individual borrower profile. Your final rate will depend on factors like your remaining loan balance, property value, income, and credit history. The important thing is that most DBP borrowers qualify for rates meaningfully lower than what they're currently paying.

What documents do I need to refinance my DBP housing loan?

You'll typically need your latest Statement of Account from DBP, proof of income (payslips or ITR), a copy of your Transfer Certificate of Title, and standard KYC documents such as valid IDs and proof of billing. Our team at Nook will guide you through the exact requirements based on the lender you choose. If you're considering BPI as your new lender, our BPI housing loan requirements guide is a helpful reference.

How long does the DBP refinancing process take?

The refinancing process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from application to loan release, depending on the receiving bank and the completeness of your documents. Nook helps streamline this by ensuring your application is complete and accurate before submission. We follow up with lenders on your behalf so you're not left chasing updates on your own.
