Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

If you currently have a home loan with Metrobank, you may be paying a standard variable or repriced fixed rate somewhere between 7% and 10% per annum — especially if your loan has already passed its initial fixed-rate period. Metrobank is a well-established lender with a strong reputation in the Philippine market, but like most traditional banks, their repricing rates can climb significantly after the honeymoon period ends. For an indicative sense of what Metrobank borrowers are typically paying, you can explore our Metrobank housing loan calculator to model your current payments. It's worth noting that Metrobank rates shown on this page are approximate, based on publicly available information, and subject to change — always verify directly with the bank.

EastWest Bank, a verified Nook partner bank, currently offers some of the most competitive refinance rates in the Philippines: 5.99% p.a. on a 1-year fixed, 6.25% on a 3-year fixed, and 6.49% on a 5-year fixed. With a minimum monthly income requirement of just P40,000 and typical approval in around 19 days, EastWest is accessible to a wide range of borrowers — including those in private employment, government service, BPO, OFW/seafarer roles, and self-employed professionals. The bank supports refinancing as a loan purpose, making it a strong destination for homeowners looking to lower their monthly outgoings.

When you apply through Nook, the entire broker service is 100% free to you as the borrower. Nook does the heavy lifting — comparing offers, preparing your documents, and coordinating with EastWest Bank on your behalf — so you can focus on what matters: saving money. On a P3,000,000 loan with 20 years remaining, refinancing from a typical 8.50% Metrobank rate to EastWest's 5.99% could reduce your monthly payment by thousands of pesos and save you close to P1,000,000 over the life of the loan. There's no obligation to proceed, and getting a free assessment takes just a few minutes.

Nook will provide you with a personalised checklist based on your employment type and guide you through each step of the submission process.

How much does it cost to refinance through Nook?

Nook's broker service is completely free for borrowers — there are no fees charged by Nook at any stage of the process.
