Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

RCBC (Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation) is one of the Philippines' most established universal banks — and a Nook partner bank offering genuinely competitive housing loan rates. For 2026, RCBC's 1-year fixed rate starts at 7.00% p.a., making it an attractive option for homebuyers and homeowners looking to refinance. Whether you're purchasing a ready-for-occupancy unit, a resale property, or a pre-selling condo, RCBC has a loan purpose to match. OFWs, seafarers, self-employed professionals, and private-sector employees are all eligible — with a minimum monthly income requirement of ₱50,000. Typical approval takes around 49 days, and RCBC's maximum debt-to-income ratio of 30% keeps your repayments manageable relative to your income.

If you're already paying a higher rate on an existing home loan — whether with RCBC or another bank — refinancing could free up thousands of pesos every month. Many Filipino homeowners are still on rates between 8% and 10%, often because they've never compared alternatives or found the process too complicated. That's exactly what Nook was built to solve. As the Philippines' first digital mortgage broker, Nook lets you refinance to a lower RCBC rate without paying broker fees — the service is completely free to borrowers. You can also use our RCBC rate calculator to see your personalised monthly payment estimate before you commit to anything.

The savings can be substantial. On a ₱3,000,000 loan with 20 years remaining, moving from 8.50% to RCBC's 7.00% rate cuts your monthly payment by over ₱3,000 — that's more than ₱550,000 saved over the life of the loan. And because Nook works with multiple partner banks, we can objectively compare RCBC against BPI, BDO, Security Bank, and others to ensure you're getting the best deal available for your situation. Interest rates are subject to change — always verify current rates directly with RCBC or through Nook before proceeding.
