Thousands of Filipino homeowners are still locked into PBCOM rates above 8% — Nook can help you switch to as low as 5.99% p.a. in weeks, for free.
PBCOM REFINANCE SAVINGS ESTIMATE
No commitment. No credit check. Just your numbers.
Why this matters
Philippine Bank of Communications (PBCOM) offers home loans to Filipino borrowers, but like many smaller commercial banks, their fixed-rate repricing cycles often leave existing borrowers sitting on rates well above what the market currently offers. If your PBCOM home loan is more than two years old, there is a strong chance you are paying between 8% and 9.5% per annum — significantly higher than the current mortgage interest rates available in the Philippines today. Refinancing means moving your outstanding loan balance to a new lender at a lower rate, which directly reduces your monthly amortisation.
Nook is the Philippines' first digital mortgage broker, and our job is to shop your loan across multiple competing banks — including BDO, BPI, Security Bank, RCBC, and others — to find you the lowest rate available for your property and income profile. The best rate we are currently placing borrowers at is 5.99% p.a. On a 3,000,000 peso loan with 20 years remaining, that difference versus an 8.50% PBCOM rate saves you over 54,000 pesos every year. Nook's service is completely free to you; we are paid by the bank you move to, not by you.
The refinancing process with Nook typically takes four to eight weeks from application to loan release. You will need standard documents such as your existing PBCOM loan statement, proof of income, and property title — similar to what you submitted when you first applied. If you have previously researched switching to a major bank, you may find guides like the BPI housing loan requirements checklist helpful as a reference for what lenders generally ask for. The key step is getting a free assessment from Nook first, so you know exactly how much you can save before committing to any paperwork.

Common questions
Yes, you can refinance at almost any point during your loan term as long as your loan is in good standing and your property has sufficient equity. In fact, the earlier you refinance to a lower rate, the more total interest savings you accumulate over the life of the loan. Nook will assess your current balance and remaining term to calculate your exact savings before you commit to anything.
Many Philippine banks, including PBCOM, charge a pre-termination or early settlement fee if you refinance within a fixed-rate lock-in period — typically the first one to three years of your loan or fixed-rate term. Once that lock-in period has passed, you are generally free to switch without penalty. Nook will review your PBCOM loan terms with you to confirm whether any exit fees apply before you proceed.
Through Nook, the lowest rate currently available is 5.99% p.a., though your actual approved rate will depend on the competing bank's assessment of your income, credit history, loan-to-value ratio, and property type. Most borrowers Nook places are securing rates in the 6% to 7% range, which still represents a substantial saving over typical existing PBCOM rates of 8% to 9.5%. We will give you a realistic rate estimate based on your profile before you apply.
Nook's mortgage brokering service is 100% free to the borrower — we do not charge application fees, consultation fees, or success fees. We are compensated directly by the bank that takes on your loan. You will still need to budget for standard third-party refinancing costs such as appraisal fees, notarial fees, registration fees, and documentary stamp tax, which typically range from 30,000 to 80,000 pesos depending on your loan size and property location.
From the time you submit your complete documents to Nook, the typical refinancing timeline is four to eight weeks until your new loan is released and your PBCOM loan is settled. The main variables are how quickly the receiving bank completes their appraisal and credit evaluation, and how fast title transfer and registration can be processed in your municipality. Nook manages the process on your behalf and keeps you updated at every stage so you are never left wondering what comes next.
