Why this matters
General Santos City is one of Mindanao's fastest-growing urban centers, and its property market is moving to match. From residential subdivisions in Calumpang and Lagao to new developments near the city center, more Filipino families are investing in homes here than ever before. But with growth comes a familiar problem: many homeowners who took out loans with BDO, BPI, Metrobank, RCBC, or PNB in the last five to ten years are still locked into interest rates that made sense back then — rates of 8% to 10% that no longer reflect what's available in the market today.
Refinancing your home loan means replacing your existing mortgage with a new one at a lower interest rate — ideally without any upfront cost to you. Through Nook, GenSan homeowners can access rates as low as 5.99% p.a. across multiple competing banks, all in one application. On a 3,000,000 loan with 20 years remaining, moving from 8.5% to 5.99% could reduce your monthly payment by over 4,600 pesos — that's money back in your household budget every single month. You can see how dramatic these savings can be by reading how a Quezon City homeowner refinanced her loan and saved ₱8,000 a month — the same process applies for borrowers in GenSan.

Yes, Nook works with homeowners across the Philippines including General Santos City and the broader SOCCSKSARGEN region. As long as your property has a clean title, your loan is in good standing, and you have at least two years remaining on your mortgage, you are likely eligible to refinance. Nook will assess your situation for free and let you know which banks are likely to approve your application.
The refinancing process typically takes four to eight weeks from application to loan release, depending on the bank and how quickly documents are submitted. Nook manages the process end-to-end, including document collection, bank submission, and follow-ups, so you don't need to visit branches in person. Most GenSan homeowners find the process straightforward when guided step by step.
