RCBC offers competitive housing loan rates starting at 7.00% p.a. — but if you're on an older repriced rate, you could be paying far more than you need to. Nook helps you compare and refinance for free.

Why this matters
RCBC is one of the Philippines' leading universal banks and a Nook partner bank, offering housing loans with a 1-year fixed rate starting at 7.00% p.a. and a home equity option at 8.00% p.a. Whether you're purchasing a ready-for-occupancy property, a pre-selling unit, or looking to refinance an existing loan, RCBC's housing loan products cater to a wide range of borrowers — including private employees, OFWs, seafarers, self-employed professionals, and business owners. With a minimum monthly income requirement of ₱50,000 and a typical approval timeline of around 49 days, RCBC strikes a solid balance between accessibility and speed. You can explore a full breakdown of monthly payments at different loan amounts using the RCBC housing loan calculator.
The catch many homeowners don't realize: the rate you locked in when you first took out your loan may no longer be the rate you're paying today. Philippine housing loans are typically repriced every 1 to 5 years, meaning your original fixed rate has likely expired and your loan has rolled onto a higher floating rate — sometimes between 8% and 10% or more. If that sounds familiar, you're almost certainly overpaying every single month. A borrower with a ₱3,000,000 outstanding balance at 8.50% is paying roughly 3,069 more per month than someone on Nook's best available refinance rate of 5.99% p.a. Over the remaining life of a 20-year loan, that adds up to over 552,000 in unnecessary interest.

Common questions
RCBC currently offers a 1-year fixed housing loan rate of 7.00% p.a. for standard home purchases and refinancing, and 8.00% p.a. for home equity loans. These rates are among the more competitive in the Philippine market, though they are subject to change — always confirm the latest rates with RCBC directly or through Nook before applying.
RCBC accepts applications from private employees, OFWs and seafarers, self-employed individuals, and licensed professionals. The minimum qualifying monthly income is ₱50,000, and your total monthly debt obligations (including the new loan) should not exceed 30% of your gross monthly income. RCBC also accepts loan purposes including home purchase (RFO and pre-selling), refinancing, reselling, foreclosed properties, and home equity.
RCBC's typical approval timeline is around 49 days from the submission of complete documents. This is a reasonable turnaround for a Philippine bank, though timelines can vary depending on the completeness of your application and property documentation. Applying through Nook can help streamline the process since our team reviews your documents before submission.
If your current loan is sitting at a repriced rate above 7% — which is common for loans that have passed their fixed-rate period — refinancing to RCBC or another Nook partner bank could result in significant monthly savings. The best way to find out is to run a free comparison through Nook, which shows you side-by-side which bank offers the lowest rate for your specific loan profile. There are no fees to use the service.
Standard requirements typically include a valid government-issued ID, proof of income (payslips, ITR, or employment certificate for employees; audited financial statements for self-employed), and property documents such as the Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) and tax declaration. For a complete and up-to-date checklist, refer to the RCBC housing loan requirements guide — requirements may vary depending on your employment type and loan purpose.
