Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

DBP (Development Bank of the Philippines) and Landbank are two of the most well-known government-owned banks offering home loans to Filipino borrowers, particularly government employees, OFWs, and public sector workers. Both institutions provide housing loan products with competitive terms, but their standard rates — typically ranging from 7% to 9% p.a. depending on fixing period and borrower profile — may no longer be the most competitive option available to you in 2026. Rates shown here are approximate, based on publicly available information, and are subject to change without notice. Always verify current rates directly with the bank.

If your existing home loan is with DBP or Landbank and you haven't reviewed your rate in the past two to three years, there's a strong chance you're overpaying. A ₱3,000,000 loan at 8.50% p.a. over 20 years costs roughly ₱26,035 per month. Refinancing that same loan to 5.99% p.a. through a Nook partner bank brings your monthly payment down to around ₱22,966 — a saving of over ₱3,000 every single month. For a full breakdown of what Landbank currently offers borrowers, see our Landbank housing loan interest rate guide for 2026.

Nook is the Philippines' first digital mortgage broker, and our service is completely free to borrowers. We work with multiple accredited private banks to find you the lowest rate you qualify for — no legwork, no hidden fees. Whether you're currently with DBP, Landbank, or any other institution, switching is more straightforward than most homeowners expect. If you're a government employee or OFW currently with Landbank and want to understand your refinancing options in detail, our Landbank refinancing guide walks you through exactly what to expect.

Common questions

What DBP and Landbank home loan borrowers considering refinancing ask us.

How do DBP and Landbank home loan rates compare in 2026?

Both DBP and Landbank offer home loan rates that generally fall in the 7% to 9% p.a. range for standard fixing periods, though exact rates depend on your loan amount, term, and borrower profile. These are approximate figures based on publicly available information and are subject to change — always confirm current rates directly with the bank. Private banks accessible through Nook currently offer rates starting at 5.99% p.a., which can represent significant savings over a government bank loan.

Can I refinance my DBP or Landbank home loan with a private bank?

Yes, refinancing from a government bank to a private bank is entirely possible and is one of the most common reasons Filipinos use Nook. The process involves settling your existing loan with the proceeds of a new loan from your chosen private bank. Nook handles the comparison and paperwork coordination for free, making the switch much smoother than going it alone.

Will I lose any benefits if I refinance away from Landbank or DBP?

Some borrowers — particularly government employees — choose Landbank or DBP for payroll integration or employer tie-ups, and it's worth checking whether any such arrangements apply to you before switching. That said, most borrowers find that the interest savings from refinancing to a lower-rate private bank far outweigh any administrative conveniences. Nook can help you weigh up the full picture before you commit.

How much could I save by refinancing a ₱3,000,000 loan from 8.50% to 5.99%?

On a ₱3,000,000 loan with 20 years remaining, dropping from 8.50% to 5.99% p.a. reduces your monthly payment from approximately ₱26,035 to ₱22,966 — a saving of around ₱3,069 per month. Over the life of the loan, that adds up to more than ₱550,000 in total interest savings. Your actual savings will vary based on your remaining balance, term, and the rate you qualify for.

How long does it take to refinance a government bank home loan through Nook?

The typical refinancing timeline through Nook is four to eight weeks from application to loan release, though this can vary depending on the bank and how quickly documents are submitted. Nook's digital process is designed to reduce back-and-forth, and our mortgage specialists guide you through every step. There are no broker fees charged to you at any stage of the process.

Every month you wait costs you ₱3,069.
