Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

EastWest Bank is one of the Philippines' fastest-growing universal banks and a Nook partner lender — offering competitive housing loan rates for 2026 that are hard to beat. Their 1-year fixed rate of 5.99% p.a. is among the lowest available in the market, and they also offer longer fixed-rate options at 6.25% (3-year), 6.49% (5-year), and 7.00% (7-year), giving borrowers flexibility depending on how long they want rate certainty. With a minimum monthly income requirement of just ₱40,000 and a streamlined approval process averaging 19 days, EastWest is accessible to a wide range of Filipino borrowers — including private employees, government workers, BPO professionals, OFWs, seafarers, self-employed individuals, and licensed professionals.

If you already have a home loan with another bank — whether it's BDO, BPI, Metrobank, Security Bank, or any other lender — and you're paying an interest rate above 7%, there's a strong chance you're overpaying every single month. Refinancing to EastWest Bank through Nook means you can lock in a lower rate without the hassle of negotiating directly with the bank, and without paying any broker fees. Nook handles the comparison, paperwork coordination, and bank liaison on your behalf, completely free. You can use our EastWest Bank housing loan calculator to model your exact monthly payments before committing to anything.

Beyond refinancing, EastWest Bank's housing loan program covers a broad range of loan purposes — including home equity, new construction, pre-selling, ready-for-occupancy (RFO) units, renovation, and reselling. This makes them a versatile choice whether you're refinancing an existing loan or financing a new property purchase. For a full breakdown of eligibility criteria and what documents you'll need to prepare, visit our EastWest Bank housing loan requirements guide. Note that all interest rates are subject to change — always verify current rates with Nook or EastWest Bank directly before applying.
