Why this matters
Planning to take out a PNB housing loan in 2026? Philippine National Bank is one of the country's most established lenders, offering home loan products for purchase, construction, and refinancing. To qualify, borrowers typically need to be Filipino citizens (or qualified foreign nationals) between 21 and 65 years old at loan maturity, with a stable source of income — whether employed, self-employed, or an overseas Filipino worker. Required documents generally include government-issued IDs, proof of income (payslips, ITR, or employment certificate), a filled-out application form, and property-related documents such as the Transfer Certificate of Title and tax declaration. Note: PNB's specific requirements and interest rates are subject to change — always verify current details directly with the bank before applying.
PNB's advertised housing loan rates typically range from around 7% to over 9% per annum depending on the fixing period and your loan profile. While these rates are competitive at the time of origination, many homeowners find themselves locked into rates that no longer reflect the best available options in the market — especially after their initial fixed-rate period reprices. If you're already a PNB borrower, it's worth reviewing your current rate against what's available today. For a deeper look at eligibility criteria and the full documents checklist, see our PNB housing loan documents and eligibility guide.
This is where Nook comes in. Nook is the Philippines' first digital mortgage broker — a free service that compares rates across multiple partner banks to find you the lowest possible refinance rate. Currently, the best rate available through Nook is 5.99% p.a., which could mean thousands of pesos in monthly savings compared to a typical PNB rate. There are no broker fees, no hidden charges, and the entire process is handled digitally for your convenience. Whether you're a new applicant weighing your options or an existing borrower wondering if you're getting a fair deal, you can also explore our income requirements and how to apply guide to better understand your next step.

Common questions
To qualify for a PNB housing loan, you generally need to be a Filipino citizen (or an eligible foreign national) aged 21 to 65 years old at the time of loan maturity, with a stable and verifiable source of income. PNB accepts employed individuals, self-employed professionals, and OFWs, each with their own set of supporting documents. Always confirm the latest criteria directly with PNB, as requirements can change.
Typical documentary requirements include a completed application form, at least one government-issued ID, proof of income (such as payslips, a Certificate of Employment, or ITR for the past two years), and property documents including the Transfer Certificate of Title, tax declaration, and a vicinity map. Self-employed applicants usually need to submit audited financial statements in addition to their ITR. Requirements may vary based on your employment type and the purpose of the loan.
Based on publicly available information, PNB housing loan rates generally range from approximately 7% to 9% per annum, depending on the fixing period you choose and your overall loan profile. These rates are approximate and subject to change — you should request a formal quote from PNB for the most accurate and current figures. If you're looking to compare, Nook partner banks are currently offering refinance rates as low as 5.99% p.a.
Yes, refinancing your PNB home loan is absolutely possible and can result in significant savings if your current rate is above the best available market rate. Through Nook, you can refinance to a partner bank offering as low as 5.99% p.a. — with no broker fees and a fully digital process.
