Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

Philippine Business Bank has built its reputation on serving the commercial and SME sector, but many PBB home loan borrowers find themselves locked into rates that made sense at origination but look expensive compared to what the market offers today. If your PBB mortgage is carrying a rate anywhere between 8% and 10%, you are almost certainly overpaying — and refinancing through Nook could put tens of thousands of pesos back in your pocket every single year. You can check how your rate stacks up against the rest of the market on our current mortgage interest rates page.

Refinancing a PBB home loan works the same way as any bank-to-bank transfer. Nook shops your loan profile across multiple Philippine banks — BDO, BPI, Security Bank, RCBC, Metrobank, and more — to find the lowest rate you qualify for, currently as low as 5.99% per annum. On a 3,000,000-peso loan with 20 years remaining, that rate difference translates to roughly 4,620 pesos in monthly savings. Over the life of your loan, the cumulative saving exceeds 800,000 pesos. There are no fees charged to you at any stage; Nook is paid by the receiving bank, not by the borrower.

The process is straightforward: you submit your documents once through Nook's digital platform, and we handle the coordination with lenders on your behalf. Most applicants receive a formal offer within two to three weeks. Whether your property is in Metro Manila, Cebu, or the provinces, and whether your PBB loan is for a house and lot, a condominium unit, or a townhouse, Nook can help you explore your options at no cost and no obligation.

Common questions

What PBB home loan borrowers ask us.

Can I refinance my Philippine Business Bank home loan to another bank?

Yes, you can transfer your PBB home loan to any accredited bank in the Philippines through a process called loan assumption or bank-to-bank refinancing. Your new lender pays off your outstanding PBB balance and issues you a fresh loan at a lower interest rate. Nook manages this entire process for you at no cost.

What interest rate can I expect when refinancing away from PBB?

The best available refinance rate through Nook is currently 5.99% per annum, though the exact rate you receive depends on your loan amount, remaining term, property type, and credit profile. Most borrowers who refinance through Nook secure rates between 5.99% and 7.25%, which is significantly lower than the 8% to 10% range common on older PBB mortgages.

How much does it cost to refinance my PBB home loan through Nook?

Nook's brokerage service is 100% free to you as the borrower — we are compensated by the bank that wins your loan, not by you. You will still need to budget for standard third-party costs such as appraisal fees, transfer taxes, and registration fees, which your Nook advisor will walk you through before you commit to anything.

What documents do I need to start the PBB refinancing process?

You will typically need a valid government-issued ID, your most recent three months of payslips or audited financial statements if self-employed, a copy of your existing PBB loan statements, and your Transfer Certificate of Title or Condominium Certificate of Title. Nook will give you a complete personalised checklist once you submit your initial application.

How long does it take to refinance a Philippine Business Bank home loan?

The typical refinancing timeline runs four to eight weeks from application to loan release, depending on how quickly documents are submitted and how fast the receiving bank processes the appraisal and credit evaluation. Nook keeps the process moving by coordinating directly with the bank on your behalf, so you are not left chasing updates on your own.

Every month you wait costs you ₱4,620.
