Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

RCBC (Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation) is one of the Philippines' leading universal banks and a Nook partner bank for housing loans and refinancing. For 2026, RCBC offers a 1-year fixed rate of 7.00% p.a. on home purchase and refinancing loans, making it one of the more competitive options available today. RCBC also offers a Home Equity rate of 8.00% p.a. for borrowers who want to unlock the value of their property. Minimum monthly income requirement is P50,000, and RCBC accepts a wide range of borrower types — including private employees, OFWs, seafarers, self-employed individuals, and licensed professionals. Loan purposes covered include refinancing, reselling, ready-for-occupancy (RFO) units, pre-selling, home equity, and foreclosed properties.

If you took out your home loan two or more years ago, there's a good chance your current rate is significantly higher than what RCBC is offering today. Many Filipino homeowners are still locked into rates of 8.5% to 10% — rates that made sense when they signed, but are now costing them tens of thousands of pesos every year unnecessarily. Refinancing to RCBC's current 7.00% fixed rate through Nook could reduce your monthly amortization by thousands of pesos, with zero broker fees charged to you. You can check out the full RCBC housing loan refinance guide to understand exactly how the process works and what to expect at each stage.

Applying through Nook gives you a key advantage: our team compares RCBC's offer against other partner banks on your behalf, so you always know you're getting the best available rate — not just the first one offered. RCBC's typical approval timeline is around 49 days, and Nook will guide you through every document requirement from start to approval. For a complete list of what you'll need to prepare, see the RCBC housing loan requirements and eligibility guide for 2026. Interest rates are subject to change; always verify current rates with RCBC or through Nook before applying.

Common questions

What Filipino homeowners researching RCBC housing loan rates ask us.

What is the current RCBC housing loan interest rate in 2026?

RCBC currently offers a 1-year fixed rate of 7.00% p.a. for standard home purchase and refinancing loans, and 8.00% p.a. for home equity loans. These rates are subject to change, so it's best to confirm the latest figures with RCBC directly or through Nook before you apply.

Who qualifies for an RCBC housing loan?

RCBC accepts applications from private employees, OFWs, seafarers, self-employed individuals, and licensed professionals. You'll need a minimum monthly income of P50,000 and a debt-to-income ratio (DTI) of no more than 30% to be eligible.

How long does RCBC take to approve a housing loan?

RCBC's typical loan approval timeline is around 49 days from complete submission of documents. Applying through Nook can help streamline this process since our team reviews your documents before submission to reduce the risk of delays or follow-up requests.

Can I refinance my existing home loan with RCBC?

Yes — refinancing is one of the loan purposes RCBC supports, and it's one of the most common reasons borrowers come to Nook. If your current rate is above 7.00%, refinancing to RCBC's current rate could meaningfully reduce your monthly payments and total interest paid over the life of your loan.

Is it free to apply for an RCBC housing loan through Nook?

Yes, Nook's mortgage brokering service is 100% free to borrowers — there are no broker fees, no hidden charges, and no obligation. Nook is compensated by the bank if your loan is approved, so you get expert guidance and bank comparison at no cost to you.
