Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

Philippine Veterans Bank has long served the military community and their families with dedicated banking products, including home loans tailored to AFP members and veterans. However, loyalty to a military-affiliated bank doesn't always mean you're getting the most competitive mortgage rate available. If you took out your Veterans Bank home loan more than two or three years ago, there's a strong chance your current interest rate is significantly higher than what the broader market now offers.

Refinancing your Veterans Bank home loan through Nook gives you access to rates as low as 5.99% p.a. from a wide panel of Philippine banks — including BDO, BPI, Metrobank, Security Bank, RCBC, and more. Nook compares these lenders on your behalf, handles the paperwork, and guides you through the entire switching process at absolutely no cost to you. Military families and AFP members are fully eligible to refinance, and you do not need to lose any of your existing benefits or relationships to make the switch.

On a 3,000,000 peso home loan with 20 years remaining, moving from 8.50% to 5.99% could reduce your monthly payment by over 4,500 pesos — that's more than 54,000 pesos back in your pocket every year. Over the life of the loan, the total interest savings can exceed 800,000 pesos. Whether you are an active AFP officer, a retired veteran, or a family member who holds a Veterans Bank mortgage, Nook is here to make sure your money works as hard as you have.

Common questions

What Veterans Bank home loan borrowers and AFP military families ask us.

Can active AFP members and veterans refinance away from Philippine Veterans Bank?

Yes, absolutely. Active military personnel, AFP retirees, and their dependents are all eligible to refinance their home loans to another bank. Your military status does not restrict you from switching lenders, and many major Philippine banks actively welcome AFP and veteran borrowers. Nook can match you with the lender offering the best rate for your profile.

Will I lose any special military benefits if I refinance out of Veterans Bank?

Home loan interest rates at Veterans Bank are not exclusively reserved for military members — their rates are open to qualified borrowers generally. Refinancing to another bank means you simply move your mortgage obligation; it does not affect your AFP pension, retirement benefits, or any other government entitlements. You keep all your earned benefits while gaining a lower interest rate.

How much could I realistically save by refinancing my Veterans Bank home loan?

The savings depend on your outstanding loan balance, remaining term, and the rate gap between your current loan and the new offer. On a 3,000,000 peso loan with 20 years remaining, switching from 8.50% to 5.99% saves approximately 4,544 pesos per month and over 817,000 pesos in total interest. Use Nook's free calculator to get a personalised estimate for your specific loan.

How long does the refinancing process take and what documents do I need?

Refinancing typically takes four to eight weeks from application to loan release, depending on the receiving bank and how quickly documents are submitted. You will generally need your latest loan statement from Veterans Bank, proof of income (payslips or ITR), a copy of your Transfer Certificate of Title, and valid government-issued ID. Nook will give you a complete checklist and help you prepare everything correctly.

Is Nook's service really free, and how does it make money?

Yes, Nook's service is completely free for borrowers — there are no fees, no hidden charges, and no obligation to proceed after receiving your options. Nook earns a referral fee from the receiving bank only when a loan is successfully completed, similar to how a real estate broker is paid by the seller rather than the buyer. You get expert guidance and a better rate at zero cost to you.

Every month you wait costs you ₱4,544.
