Philippine Veterans Bank borrowers are often paying 8.50% or more on their home loans — refinancing through Nook could drop your rate to as low as 5.99% p.a. and put thousands back in your family's budget every month.

Why this matters
Philippine Veterans Bank has long served the families of Filipino veterans and AFP personnel, offering home loans as part of a broader commitment to military communities. But loyalty to your bank shouldn't come at the cost of a higher interest rate. Many Veterans Bank borrowers are carrying home loans priced at 8% to 9% or above — rates that made sense when the loan was first released, but that look very different compared to today's competitive refinancing rates in the Philippines. Refinancing doesn't mean abandoning your bank — it means making sure your mortgage is still working as hard for your family as you worked for this country.
Through Nook, military families and veterans' dependents can compare refinancing offers from multiple Philippine banks simultaneously, without the paperwork confusion of going branch-to-branch. On a 3,000,000 peso loan with 20 years remaining, moving from an 8.50% rate to 5.99% translates to over 4,500 pesos saved every single month. That's money that can go toward your children's education, emergency savings, or simply reducing financial pressure on the household. Nook's service is completely free — no broker fees, no hidden charges — and the application process is handled digitally so you can do it from home.
It's worth noting that Pag-IBIG (HDMF) is also a popular refinancing destination for AFP members and government employees, and Nook can include Pag-IBIG options in your comparison. Whether your best offer comes from BDO, Security Bank, BPI, or another lender, Nook helps you find it quickly. The only question is how much you could be saving.

Common questions
Yes, active AFP personnel and veterans alike are eligible to refinance their home loans with other Philippine banks through Nook. Your military service record is not a barrier — banks simply assess your income, credit standing, and the property's current value. In fact, government employment with the AFP is viewed favorably by most lenders.
Veterans Bank home loans are not typically bundled with non-separable military benefits in the same way Pag-IBIG loans can be, so refinancing to a commercial bank generally does not forfeit entitlements. However, we recommend confirming directly with Veterans Bank and your commanding officer's finance unit before proceeding. Nook's advisors can help you understand your options before you commit to anything.
On a 3,000,000 peso balance with 20 years remaining, switching from 8.50% to 5.99% saves approximately 4,550 pesos per month — or over 819,000 pesos across the remaining loan term. Your actual savings will depend on your specific balance, remaining term, and the rate you qualify for. Nook gives you a personalized estimate before you apply.
Standard refinancing requirements include your latest Statement of Account from Veterans Bank, a copy of the Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT), proof of income (payslips or ITR), valid government-issued IDs, and a filled application form. AFP personnel may also be asked for a Certificate of Active Duty or Service Record. Nook walks you through the exact checklist once you submit your basic details.
Yes — Nook charges absolutely nothing to the borrower. Nook earns a referral fee from the bank that ultimately provides your new loan, so there is no cost to you at any stage of the process. You get access to multiple bank offers, professional guidance, and full application support without paying a single peso in broker fees.
