Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

RCBC (Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation) is one of the Philippines' most established commercial banks and a Nook partner bank, offering housing loans for a wide range of purposes — from purchasing a ready-for-occupancy (RFO) or pre-selling unit, to refinancing your existing home loan from another bank. RCBC's 1-year fixed rate currently stands at 7.00% p.a., with a Home Equity rate of 8.00% p.a. Eligible borrowers include salaried employees in the private sector, OFWs and seafarers, self-employed individuals, and licensed professionals — with a minimum monthly income requirement of 50,000.

If you already have an RCBC housing loan or a home loan with another bank, refinancing could significantly reduce your monthly payment. Most Filipino homeowners are still paying between 7% and 10% interest — often because they haven't revisited their rate since their loan repriced. Through Nook, you can explore an RCBC housing loan refinance and find out in minutes whether switching could save you thousands every month. Nook's service is completely free to borrowers — Nook is compensated by the bank, not by you.

Before applying, it helps to understand what documents and eligibility criteria RCBC requires. You can review the RCBC housing loan requirements for 2026 to make sure you're prepared before submitting your application. Typical approval takes around 49 days, and RCBC allows a maximum debt-to-income (DTI) ratio of 30%, so it's important to assess your current financial obligations before applying. Interest rates are subject to change — always verify current rates with RCBC or through Nook before making any financial decisions.
