Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

Philippine National Bank (PNB) is one of the Philippines' oldest and most established banks, and its housing loan product is a popular choice for Filipino homebuyers. To qualify for a PNB housing loan, borrowers generally need to be Filipino citizens (or qualified foreign nationals) aged 21 to 65 years old at loan maturity, with a stable source of income. Salaried employees typically need to show at least two years of employment, while self-employed applicants are usually required to present two years of audited financial statements. Standard documentary requirements include a completed application form, valid government-issued IDs, proof of income (payslips, ITR, or BIR Form 2316), and collateral documents such as a Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) and tax declaration. For a more detailed breakdown of what to prepare, see our PNB housing loan documents, eligibility and application guide.

PNB housing loan rates are not publicly listed as fixed tiers and are subject to change based on market conditions and your loan profile. Based on publicly available information, PNB's standard home loan rates typically range from approximately 7% to 10% p.a. depending on the fixing period and loan term — meaning many existing PNB borrowers may be paying significantly more than today's most competitive refinance rates. If you took out your PNB home loan two or more years ago, there is a strong chance your current rate is higher than what Nook's partner banks can offer today. Note: All rates are indicative and subject to change. Always verify current rates directly with PNB or a licensed broker before making financial decisions.

If you already have a PNB housing loan and your fixing period is about to end — or has already ended — now is the ideal time to explore refinancing. Through Nook, the Philippines' first digital mortgage broker, you can compare verified rates from multiple partner banks and potentially refinance at as low as 5.99% p.a. — completely free of charge to you. On a 3,000,000 loan with 20 years remaining, the difference between 8.50% and 5.99% could mean saving over 3,000 pesos every single month. If you're still deciding whether to apply with PNB first, our PNB housing loan income eligibility and application guide covers everything you need to know about the process.

Common questions

What PNB housing loan applicants and existing borrowers ask us.

What are the basic eligibility requirements for a PNB housing loan?

Applicants must generally be Filipino citizens aged 21 to 65 years old at loan maturity, with a stable and verifiable source of income. Salaried employees typically need at least two years of continuous employment, while self-employed borrowers must show at least two years of profitable business operations supported by audited financial statements. Foreign nationals may qualify under specific conditions — check directly with PNB for the latest eligibility rules.

What documents do I need to apply for a PNB housing loan?

Core requirements typically include a duly accomplished application form, at least one valid government-issued ID, proof of income (recent payslips and BIR Form 2316 for salaried employees, or ITR and audited financials for the self-employed), and collateral documents such as a copy of the Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT), lot plan, and tax declaration. Additional documents may be required depending on your borrower profile or property type. Always confirm the current checklist directly with PNB as requirements can change.

What interest rates does PNB offer on housing loans?

PNB does not publicly publish fixed rate tiers, and rates are determined based on your loan profile, fixing period, and prevailing market conditions. Based on publicly available information, standard PNB housing loan rates are estimated to range from approximately 7% to 10% p.a. — though this is approximate and subject to change. We recommend contacting PNB directly or working with a mortgage broker like Nook to compare multiple verified offers at no cost.

Can I refinance my existing PNB housing loan to get a lower rate?

Yes — if your current PNB housing loan rate is higher than what's available in the market today, refinancing is a smart option worth exploring. Through Nook, you can refinance to a partner bank offering rates as low as 5.99% p.a., which could reduce your monthly payment by thousands of pesos depending on your outstanding balance. Nook's service is 100% free for borrowers, so there's no cost to finding out how much you could save.

How long does a PNB housing loan application take to process?

PNB's housing loan processing timeline can vary, but applicants should generally expect several weeks from submission of complete documents to loan approval. Delays can occur if documents are incomplete or if additional verification is required for the property or borrower profile. To avoid waiting, ensure all your requirements are ready and accurate before submitting — or consider applying through Nook, where our team guides you through the entire process from start to finish.
