Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

The Philippine Bank of Communications (PBCOM) offers home loans to Filipino buyers, but like most local banks, their rates are subject to repricing every few years — and not always in your favor. Many PBCOM borrowers find themselves locked into rates between 8% and 9.5% after their initial fixed period ends, which can translate to significantly higher monthly amortisations than what the market now offers. If you haven't reviewed your mortgage in the last two to three years, there's a strong chance you're overpaying. You can check current mortgage interest rates in the Philippines to see how your PBCOM rate compares to what's available today.

Refinancing your PBCOM home loan means replacing your existing mortgage with a new one from a competing bank — one that offers a lower interest rate, better terms, or both. The process sounds complicated, but Nook makes it straightforward. We gather your loan details, compare offers from multiple Philippine banks simultaneously, and present you with your best options. You never pay Nook a fee; we're compensated by the bank only if you proceed. This means you get expert guidance and a full market comparison at zero cost to you.

The savings from refinancing a PBCOM loan can be substantial. On a ₱3,000,000 outstanding balance with 20 years remaining, switching from 8.50% to 5.99% p.a. saves over ₱3,800 every month — that's more than ₱46,000 a year you can redirect toward your family, investments, or paying down your principal faster. If you're also exploring other banks as alternatives, our guides on BPI housing loan requirements can help you understand what top competing lenders typically ask for during a refinance application.

Common questions

What PBCOM home loan borrowers considering refinancing ask us.

Can I refinance my PBCOM home loan to another bank?

Yes, absolutely. Refinancing from PBCOM to another Philippine bank is a standard process and one of the most effective ways to reduce your monthly amortisation. Banks like BPI, BDO, Security Bank, and others actively compete for refinancing clients and often offer attractive introductory rates to win your business.

Will I have to pay a penalty to PBCOM for refinancing?

PBCOM, like most Philippine banks, may charge a prepayment or early termination fee if you refinance within a fixed-rate lock-in period — typically ranging from 1% to 3% of the outstanding balance. It's important to check your loan agreement or call PBCOM directly to confirm any applicable charges before proceeding, as this affects your net savings calculation.

How much can I save by refinancing my PBCOM mortgage?

The amount depends on your outstanding balance, current interest rate, and remaining loan term. On a ₱3,000,000 loan at 8.50% with 20 years left, switching to 5.99% p.a. saves approximately ₱3,842 per month and over ₱691,000 across the life of the loan. Nook can calculate your exact savings based on your specific figures.

How long does it take to refinance a PBCOM home loan?

The refinancing process in the Philippines typically takes between 30 and 60 days from application to loan release, depending on the receiving bank's processing speed and how quickly you can submit your documents. Nook helps you prepare your application package correctly the first time, which significantly reduces delays.

Is Nook's refinancing service really free for PBCOM borrowers?

Yes, Nook's service is 100% free to you as the borrower. We are compensated by the bank you ultimately choose to refinance with, only after your loan is approved and released. You receive full market comparison, application support, and expert advice at no cost — with no obligation to proceed if you don't find an offer that suits you.

Every month you wait costs you ₱3,842.
