Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

GoTyme Bank has made waves in the Philippine digital banking space with its seamless app experience, competitive savings rates, and accessible banking products. However, as of now, GoTyme does not offer home loans or mortgage refinancing. If you landed here hoping to refinance with GoTyme, the good news is that Nook can connect you with established Philippine banks — like BDO, BPI, Security Bank, and others — that offer refinancing rates starting at just 5.99% p.a. You can check the latest mortgage interest rates in the Philippines to see exactly how competitive today's refinancing market really is.

Most Filipino homeowners who refinance through Nook are currently paying between 7.50% and 10% on their existing home loans. On a 3,000,000 peso loan with 20 years remaining, dropping from 8.50% to 5.99% translates to over 3,000 pesos in monthly savings — money that stays in your pocket instead of going to interest. The process through Nook is completely free to borrowers; Nook earns a referral fee from the bank, so there is no cost to you for comparing options or getting matched to the best lender.

Switching your home loan to a better rate is one of the highest-impact financial moves a homeowner can make. If you're curious about what specific banks require for the application process, resources like the BPI housing loan requirements guide can help you understand what documents to prepare. Nook handles the heavy lifting — comparing rates across multiple lenders, guiding your application, and helping you close faster — all without charging you a single peso in broker fees.

Common questions

What homeowners researching GoTyme Bank for mortgage refinancing ask us.

Does GoTyme Bank offer home loans or mortgage refinancing?

As of now, GoTyme Bank does not offer home loans or mortgage refinancing products in the Philippines. GoTyme's current product lineup focuses on savings accounts, debit cards, and personal financial tools rather than secured lending like mortgages.

Which banks in the Philippines offer the best refinancing rates right now?

Traditional banks such as BDO, BPI, Security Bank, Metrobank, and RCBC are currently among the most competitive lenders for home loan refinancing. Through Nook, you can access rates as low as 5.99% p.a. without having to approach each bank individually yourself.

Is it worth refinancing if I only have a few years left on my home loan?

Generally, refinancing makes the most sense when you have at least 10 or more years remaining on your loan term, since the monthly savings need time to outweigh any processing fees. If you have fewer years remaining, Nook's team can help you run the numbers to check whether it still makes financial sense in your specific situation.

How much does it cost to refinance through Nook?

Nook's service is completely free for borrowers — you pay nothing to use the platform, compare rates, or get assisted through your application. Nook is compensated by the bank once your refinancing is successfully completed, so your interests and Nook's are fully aligned.

How long does the refinancing process typically take in the Philippines?

The refinancing process in the Philippines typically takes between 30 and 60 days from application to loan release, depending on the bank and how quickly documents are submitted. Nook helps streamline the process by preparing your application correctly the first time, reducing back-and-forth with the bank.

Every month you wait costs you ₱3,198.
