Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

EastWest Bank is one of the Philippines' fastest-growing universal banks, and its housing loan product stands out for its flexible fixed-rate periods and accessible income requirements. Whether you're purchasing a ready-for-occupancy unit, refinancing an existing loan, or tapping your home equity for renovations or other needs, EastWest Bank has a loan purpose that fits. Its 1-year fixed rate starts at just 5.99% p.a., with longer fixed periods available at 6.25% (3-year), 6.49% (5-year), and 7.00% (7-year) — giving borrowers the freedom to choose rate certainty that matches their financial plans. You can explore estimated monthly payments for different scenarios using the EastWest Bank housing loan calculator.

Qualifying for an EastWest Bank housing loan is straightforward. You'll need a minimum monthly income of ₱40,000, and the bank welcomes a wide range of employment types including private employees, government workers, BPO professionals, OFWs, seafarers, and self-employed individuals. The maximum debt-to-income ratio is 40%, and typical loan approval takes around 19 days — faster than many competing banks. For a full breakdown of what documents and eligibility criteria are required, see the EastWest Bank housing loan requirements guide.

Applying through Nook gives you an important advantage: our service is completely free to borrowers. Nook's mortgage specialists do the legwork of comparing rates across multiple lenders, preparing your documents, and coordinating with the bank — so you don't have to navigate the process alone. If you're currently paying 8% or more on an existing home loan, refinancing to EastWest Bank's 5.99% rate could mean thousands of pesos in savings every single month. The numbers above are based on a ₱3,000,000 loan with a 20-year remaining term, and your actual savings will depend on your outstanding balance and current rate. Please note that interest rates are subject to change — always verify the latest rates directly with the bank or through Nook before making a decision.
