Why this matters
RCBC (Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation) is one of the Philippines' most established banks and a trusted name in housing finance. Their 2026 housing loan lineup includes a 1-year fixed rate of 7.00% p.a. and a Home Equity rate of 8.00% p.a., with eligibility open to private employees, OFWs, seafarers, self-employed individuals, and professionals. The minimum monthly income requirement is P50,000, and typical loan approval takes around 49 days. RCBC accepts loan purposes including refinancing, ready-for-occupancy (RFO) units, pre-selling properties, reselling, foreclosed assets, and home equity. If you want to understand the full list of documents and eligibility criteria, our RCBC housing loan requirements and application guide covers everything you need to prepare.
While RCBC's rates are competitive within the Philippine banking landscape, the smartest move any homeowner can make is to compare across multiple lenders before committing — or before continuing to pay a rate that may no longer be the best available. Nook is the Philippines' first digital mortgage broker, and our service is completely free to borrowers. We work with RCBC and a wide network of partner banks to find the lowest rate for your specific loan profile. If you're already an RCBC borrower and your fixed-rate period is ending, this is the ideal moment to explore your options. Check our RCBC housing loan refinance page to see how much you could save by switching or repricing.
On a P3,000,000 loan over a 20-year term, even a 1% difference in interest rate translates to over P21,000 in annual savings. Over the life of the loan, that adds up to hundreds of thousands of pesos — money that stays in your pocket instead of going to the bank. Nook helps you run these numbers accurately, match you with the right lender, and process your application without any broker fees. Interest rates are subject to change; always verify current rates with your bank or through Nook before making a decision.

Yes — refinancing is one of the loan purposes RCBC accepts, and Nook can help you apply as a broker at no cost to you. If you're currently paying a higher rate with another bank, refinancing to RCBC (or another Nook partner bank with an even lower rate) could significantly reduce your monthly payments. Nook compares all available options to find the best fit for your financial situation.
Yes, Nook's mortgage brokering service is 100% free for borrowers.
