No commitment. No credit check. Just your numbers.
Why this matters
RCBC is one of the Philippines' most trusted housing loan providers, and in 2026 they continue to offer competitive fixed rates for home purchases, refinancing, and home equity loans. Their 1-year fixed rate of 7.00% p.a. is among the more accessible entry-level rates in the market, making RCBC a strong contender whether you're buying a ready-for-occupancy unit, refinancing an existing loan, or unlocking equity from your property. RCBC also accommodates a wide range of borrowers — from private employees to OFWs, seafarers, self-employed professionals, and business owners — with a minimum monthly income requirement of P50,000. If you want to understand exactly what documents and eligibility criteria apply, check out our RCBC Housing Loan Requirements 2026 guide.
What many Filipino homeowners don't realize is that the interest rate on their current loan — often set years ago at 8%, 9%, or even higher — may no longer be competitive. If your loan repriced recently and your bank didn't offer you a better deal, that's money you're leaving on the table every single month. Refinancing to a lower rate, whether with RCBC or another Nook partner bank, can generate savings of tens of thousands of pesos annually. For a P3,000,000 loan balance at a typical 8.50% rate, switching to 5.99% p.a. could reduce your monthly payment by nearly P4,000 — that's over P700,000 saved over the remaining life of your loan. Use our RCBC housing loan calculator to run the numbers for your own situation.

Common questions
RCBC's standard 1-year fixed housing loan rate is 7.00% p.a., which applies to a range of loan purposes including refinancing, home purchase, and home equity. Promo rates and fee waivers are periodically offered and may vary — applying through Nook ensures you're always quoted the most current available rate. Note that interest rates are subject to change without prior notice.
RCBC accepts applications from private employees, OFWs, seafarers, self-employed individuals, and licensed professionals with a minimum monthly income of P50,000. Loan purposes covered include the purchase of RFO and pre-selling properties, reselling, refinancing, foreclosed assets, and home equity. Meeting the income threshold is just one part of eligibility — Nook can do a quick pre-qualification check at no cost to you.
RCBC's 7.00% 1-year fixed rate is competitive within the Philippine market, but it's not the lowest available — Nook currently offers refinance rates as low as 5.99% p.a. through its partner banks. The best way to compare is to let Nook shop the market for you, so you see real offers side by side before committing. Even a 1% difference in rate on a P3,000,000 loan translates to roughly P24,000 in annual savings.
Yes — refinancing to RCBC is one of the most common requests Nook handles, and it's completely free for the borrower. If your current loan is with BDO, BPI, Metrobank, or any other bank and your rate has repriced to 8% or higher, switching to RCBC's 7.00% fixed rate (or lower through Nook's best-rate matching) could significantly reduce your monthly payments. See our RCBC refinance guide for a full walkthrough of the process.
RCBC's typical loan approval timeline is around 49 days from submission of complete documents. Preparing your requirements correctly from the start is the single biggest factor in avoiding delays — our RCBC housing loan requirements guide lists everything you'll need. Nook's team reviews your documents before submission to catch any gaps early and keep the process moving smoothly.
