Many DBP housing loan borrowers are still paying rates between 8% and 9.5% per annum — well above the 5.99% p.a. now available through Nook. A free comparison could save you hundreds of thousands over your remaining loan term.

Why this matters
The Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) has long been a trusted lender for government employees and infrastructure-sector workers, offering housing loans with competitive entry rates. However, many borrowers who took out their DBP home loans five or more years ago are now locked into re-pricing rates of 8.5% to 9.5% — significantly higher than what the private banking market currently offers. With today's mortgage interest rates in the Philippines dipping as low as 5.99% p.a. through Nook's panel of partner banks, refinancing your DBP loan could be one of the most impactful financial decisions you make this year.
Refinancing a government bank loan like DBP involves a few extra steps compared to switching between private banks — including securing a loan redemption statement, coordinating with the DBP branch that holds your title, and ensuring your property valuation is up to date. Nook's mortgage specialists are experienced in navigating these requirements and handle all the coordination on your behalf, at absolutely no cost to you. We work with BPI, BDO, Security Bank, RCBC, Metrobank, and other leading private lenders to find you the best available rate for your specific profile and remaining balance.
Whether your remaining loan term is 10 years or 20 years, the mathematics of refinancing at a lower rate are compelling. On a 3,000,000 peso balance over 20 years, moving from 8.75% to 5.99% reduces your monthly payment by thousands of pesos — money that stays in your household budget every single month. Nook's free consultation takes less than 10 minutes and gives you a clear picture of exactly how much you could save before you commit to anything.

Common questions
Yes, DBP housing loans can be refinanced to any accredited private bank in the Philippines. The process involves DBP issuing a loan redemption statement and releasing your Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) once the new lender settles your outstanding balance — Nook handles this coordination for you at no charge.
A general rule of thumb is that if your current interest rate is more than 1.5 percentage points above the best available market rate, refinancing is likely to generate meaningful savings. If you're on a DBP re-priced rate of 8% or higher, you're almost certainly a strong candidate — Nook can run the exact numbers for your loan in minutes.
You'll typically need your latest DBP loan statement, a copy of your Transfer Certificate of Title, proof of income (payslips or ITR), a valid government-issued ID, and your property's tax declaration. Nook will give you a complete personalised checklist once you submit your details, similar to what's outlined in guides like the BPI housing loan requirements guide for borrowers switching to that bank.
The end-to-end process typically takes 6 to 10 weeks, depending on how quickly DBP releases the redemption documents and how efficiently the title transfer is processed at the Registry of Deeds. Government bank releases can sometimes take a few weeks longer than private bank transfers, so starting the process early is advisable.
