Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

EastWest Bank is a well-regarded lender with competitive home loan products — and as a Nook partner bank, it's actually one of the options we compare when finding you the best deal. But if you originally took your loan at a higher fixed rate and your repricing period is approaching, now is the right time to explore whether refinancing could put more money back in your pocket. EastWest currently offers rates starting at 5.99% p.a. for a 1-year fixed term through Nook, alongside 3-year and 5-year fixed options at 6.25% and 6.49% respectively — significantly lower than the 8–10% rates many homeowners are currently paying on older loan terms. You can review EastWest Bank's current housing loan rates and requirements to see exactly where you stand before you decide.

Refinancing works by replacing your existing home loan with a new one at a lower interest rate, either with your current bank or a different lender altogether. On a 3,000,000 peso loan with 20 years remaining, dropping from 8.50% to 5.99% could reduce your monthly payment by roughly 3,911 pesos — that's over 46,000 pesos saved every single year. Nook does the comparison work across all major Philippine banks so you never have to apply blindly or negotiate alone. Our service is 100% free to borrowers; we're compensated by the bank only if your loan is approved and disbursed.

Whether you want to lower your monthly cash outflow, shorten your loan term, or tap into your home equity for other needs, refinancing through Nook gives you access to multiple lenders in one application. Use our EastWest Bank housing loan calculator to estimate your potential savings before you speak with a Nook advisor. Interest rates are subject to change — we always recommend verifying the latest rates directly with the bank or through Nook before making any financial decision.

Common questions

What EastWest Bank home loan borrowers considering refinancing ask us.

Can I refinance my EastWest Bank home loan with a different bank?

Yes, you are free to refinance your EastWest Bank home loan with any other participating lender at any time, subject to standard eligibility requirements and any applicable prepayment penalties on your existing loan. Nook compares offers from multiple banks — including EastWest itself — so you can choose whichever option gives you the best rate and terms. We handle the paperwork and coordination at no cost to you.

What is EastWest Bank's current refinancing interest rate?

Through Nook, EastWest Bank currently offers a 1-year fixed rate of 5.99% p.a., a 3-year fixed rate of 6.25% p.a., and a 5-year fixed rate of 6.49% p.a. for eligible refinancing applications. These rates are subject to change and depend on your loan amount, property type, and credit profile. We recommend getting a personalised quote through Nook to confirm the rate applicable to your specific situation.

How much can I save by refinancing my EastWest home loan?

Your savings depend on your outstanding loan balance, remaining term, and the difference between your current rate and the new rate you qualify for. For example, refinancing a 3,000,000 peso loan from 8.50% to 5.99% over 20 years could save you approximately 3,911 pesos per month, or nearly 47,000 pesos per year. Use our free calculator or speak with a Nook advisor to get an estimate tailored to your loan.

Is there a minimum income requirement to refinance through EastWest Bank?

EastWest Bank requires a minimum monthly income of 40,000 pesos for home loan applicants, including those refinancing. They accept a wide range of employment types including private employees, government workers, BPO employees, OFWs and seafarers, self-employed individuals, and licensed professionals. Nook will help you determine which bank best matches your income profile if EastWest is not the right fit.

How long does it take to get approved for a refinance through EastWest Bank?

EastWest Bank typically processes and approves refinancing applications within approximately 19 banking days from submission of complete documents. Nook helps you prepare and organise your requirements upfront to avoid delays and back-and-forth with the bank. If you need a faster turnaround, we can also compare EastWest's timeline against other lenders to find the best match for your situation.
