Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

SB Finance is a consumer lending subsidiary that offers home loan products, but it operates with a narrower funding base than the Philippines' major universal banks. That typically means less competitive interest rates over the long term — and for homeowners on a 20-year loan, even a 2% difference in rate can cost hundreds of thousands of pesos in unnecessary interest. If your current SB Finance home loan rate is sitting above 7%, it's worth finding out what's available to you through larger lenders with stronger deposit bases and more aggressive mortgage pricing.

Refinancing to a major bank like BPI, BDO, Security Bank, or Metrobank through Nook means you're not just getting a lower rate — you're gaining access to institutions with more flexible repayment structures, longer fixing periods, and established mortgage servicing teams. Nook works across its entire lender network to match you with the best available offer for your property type, loan balance, and borrower profile. You can check current mortgage interest rates in the Philippines to see what major banks are offering right now and how your SB Finance rate compares.

The refinancing process through Nook is completely free for borrowers — Nook is compensated by the receiving bank, not you. From document preparation to bank submission and approval follow-up, Nook manages the process end to end. Most applicants who qualify can complete a refinance within 45 to 60 days. If you're curious about what one of the most popular destination banks looks like, the BPI housing loan requirements guide is a good place to start understanding eligibility.

Common questions

What SB Finance home loan borrowers ask us.

Can I refinance an SB Finance home loan to a major bank?

Yes, you can. SB Finance home loans are eligible for refinancing to major Philippine banks, provided your property title is clean and your loan account is in good standing. Nook will assess your current loan details and match you with lenders whose criteria you meet.

Why might my SB Finance rate be higher than what major banks offer?

Smaller consumer lenders like SB Finance typically have higher cost-of-funds than large universal banks, which means they price their loan products at higher margins. Major banks such as BPI, BDO, and Security Bank can offer lower rates because they have access to cheaper funding through large deposit bases.

How much does it cost to refinance through Nook?

Nothing — Nook's mortgage brokerage service is completely free for borrowers. Nook earns a fee from the bank that receives your loan, so there is no charge to you for the matching, application support, or processing assistance Nook provides.

What documents do I need to start a refinance from SB Finance?

You'll typically need your latest SB Finance loan statement, a copy of your Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) or Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT), proof of income such as payslips or ITR, valid government-issued IDs, and a recent tax declaration. Nook will give you a complete checklist once you submit your inquiry.

How long does a refinance from SB Finance to a major bank take?

Most refinances handled through Nook are completed within 45 to 60 days, depending on how quickly documents are submitted and how the receiving bank processes the application. Nook actively follows up with the bank on your behalf to keep things moving as efficiently as possible.

Every month you wait costs you ₱4,544.
