Why this matters
The Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) offers housing loans as part of its mandate to support Filipino homeownership. However, DBP's retail mortgage rates are not always the most competitive in the market — and if you took out your loan several years ago, your current rate may be significantly higher than what private banks are offering today. With current mortgage interest rates in the Philippines as low as 5.99% p.a. through Nook, many DBP borrowers are in a strong position to refinance and reduce their monthly payments substantially.
Refinancing your DBP housing loan means switching your outstanding balance to a new lender that offers a lower interest rate and better terms. On a 3,000,000 peso loan with 20 years remaining, moving from 8.50% to 5.99% could save you over 3,000 pesos every single month — that's real money back in your pocket every payday. Nook does the comparison work for you, approaching multiple banks on your behalf and presenting you with the best available offers, completely free of charge.
The process is simpler than most homeowners expect. Nook handles the documentation, bank negotiations, and paperwork so you don't have to deal with multiple lenders yourself. Whether your property is in Metro Manila or a provincial city, Nook's team of mortgage specialists can guide you through every step of the refinance process and help you make the switch without the usual stress.

Common questions
Yes, absolutely. As long as your property is fully titled and your loan is in good standing, you are free to refinance your DBP housing loan with any accredited private bank in the Philippines. Nook works with BDO, BPI, Security Bank, Metrobank, and several other lenders to find you the most competitive rate available.
Savings depend on your outstanding balance, remaining term, and the rate difference between your current DBP loan and your new offer. On a 3,000,000 peso loan at 8.50%, switching to 5.99% saves roughly 3,160 pesos per month — over 568,000 pesos across the remaining loan term. Use Nook's free calculator to get a figure based on your actual loan details.
DBP may charge a pre-termination fee depending on the terms of your original loan agreement, typically ranging from 1% to 3% of the outstanding balance within a certain lock-in period. It's important to check your loan documents or contact DBP directly to confirm. Even with a pre-termination fee, the long-term savings from refinancing often far outweigh the one-time cost.
Standard requirements include your original Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT), tax declaration, latest real property tax receipts, proof of income, and your existing DBP loan statement of account. The exact checklist varies slightly by bank — for example, you can review BPI's housing loan requirements to get a sense of what's typically needed. Nook will provide you with a complete, personalised checklist once you get started.
The typical refinance process in the Philippines takes between 30 to 60 days from application to loan release, depending on the bank and how quickly documents are submitted. Nook helps speed things up by guiding you through the paperwork and liaising with the bank on your behalf. Most borrowers find the process far less complicated than they initially expected.
