No commitment. No credit check. Just your numbers.
Why this matters
RCBC regularly rolls out housing loan promos designed to attract new borrowers and reward loyal customers — and 2026 is no different. Their current 1-year fixed rate of 7.00% p.a. is among the more competitive offerings in the Philippine market, particularly for borrowers with stable income and a clean credit history. Whether you're buying a ready-for-occupancy unit, refinancing an existing loan, or tapping your home equity, RCBC has loan products built for each situation. You can review the full list of RCBC housing loan requirements and eligibility criteria for 2026 to see exactly what documents you'll need to prepare.
What many Filipino homeowners don't realize is that the biggest "promo" available to them isn't always a new purchase deal — it's refinancing their existing loan. If your current home loan is priced at 9%, 10%, or higher (which is common for loans taken out several years ago), switching to RCBC's 7.00% fixed rate through Nook could dramatically reduce your monthly amortization. On a 3,000,000 loan with 20 years remaining, that rate difference translates to over 4,000 pesos in monthly savings. Nook's service is 100% free to borrowers — we earn from the bank, not from you. To understand how RCBC's rates stack up and run your own numbers, visit our RCBC housing loan interest rate calculator.
Applying through Nook means you get a dedicated mortgage advisor who handles the paperwork, follows up with the bank, and keeps you informed every step of the way. RCBC's typical approval timeline is around 49 days, and their minimum monthly income requirement is 50,000 pesos — making them accessible to a wide range of private employees, OFWs, seafarers, self-employed professionals, and business owners. Whether you're chasing a promo rate or simply tired of overpaying on your current loan, Nook can help you find out if RCBC is the right fit — at zero cost to you. Note: Interest rates are subject to change. Always verify current rates with RCBC or through Nook before making a financial decision.

Yes — refinancing is one of the loan purposes RCBC accepts, and it's actually one of the most common reasons borrowers come to Nook. If your current rate is 8% or higher, switching to RCBC's 7.00% fixed rate could meaningfully reduce your monthly payment. Applying through Nook is free, and we'll help you calculate your exact savings before you commit.
RCBC occasionally waives processing fees or offers reduced appraisal costs as part of limited-time promos. The availability of these waivers changes throughout the year, so it's worth asking your Nook advisor about any active fee promotions when you apply. Getting your application in early gives you the best chance of locking in current offers.
