Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

GoTyme Bank positioned itself as a fresh alternative in Philippine digital banking, but when it comes to home loans, being digital doesn't automatically mean being cheaper. Many GoTyme borrowers locked in rates between 8% and 9% during their initial fixing period — rates that made sense at the time but may no longer be competitive now that refinancing options have improved. If your fixing period is ending or has already lapsed, this is the ideal window to reassess and potentially compare current mortgage interest rates in the Philippines before your rate resets to something even higher.

Refinancing means replacing your existing home loan with a new one from a different lender, ideally at a significantly lower interest rate. Through Nook, you can access rates as low as 5.99% p.a. from a panel of leading Philippine banks — without paying a single peso in broker fees. For a 3,000,000 loan with roughly 20 years remaining, dropping from 8.50% to 5.99% translates to over 3,000 pesos back in your pocket every single month. That's real, recurring savings that compound over the life of your loan.

The refinancing process can feel daunting, especially if your first home loan experience was entirely app-based. Traditional banks have requirements and paperwork that may feel unfamiliar, but Nook's team guides you through every step. If you're also weighing other lenders as part of your comparison, it helps to understand what documentation banks typically require — for instance, reviewing the BPI housing loan requirements gives you a realistic sense of what to prepare across most major Philippine banks.

Common questions

What GoTyme Bank home loan borrowers considering refinancing ask us.

Can I refinance a GoTyme Bank home loan to a traditional bank?

Yes, absolutely. Refinancing from a digital bank like GoTyme to a traditional Philippine bank is entirely possible and quite common. Nook works with lenders including BDO, BPI, Security Bank, Metrobank, and others who are actively competing for refinance business and offering strong rates.

When is the best time to refinance my GoTyme home loan?

The best time to refinance is typically at the end of your interest rate fixing period, before your rate resets — this usually avoids prepayment penalty fees. If you're already on a floating or repriced rate, you can often refinance immediately without penalty, but always check your loan agreement first.

Will refinancing hurt my credit score in the Philippines?

Refinancing generally has a neutral to positive long-term effect on your credit profile in the Philippines, as consistent repayment history is the biggest factor. The new loan inquiry and account opening may cause a minor short-term dip, but this is typically outweighed by the benefit of a lower, more manageable monthly payment.

How much does it cost to refinance through Nook?

Nook's service is completely free for borrowers — there are no broker fees, consultation charges, or hidden costs. Nook is compensated by the bank once your loan is successfully disbursed, which means your quoted rate is the same whether you apply through Nook or walk into the branch yourself.

What documents do I need to refinance my home loan?

You'll typically need a valid government-issued ID, proof of income (payslips or ITR for at least two years), your existing loan statement of account, and property documents such as the Transfer Certificate of Title and tax declaration. Nook will provide a personalised checklist once you submit your details so nothing is missed.

Every month you wait costs you ₱3,069.
