Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

SB Finance, the lending arm of Security Bank, offers home loan products that suit many Filipino borrowers at the point of purchase — but over time, their fixed-rate periods expire and interest rates can creep up significantly. If your loan has rolled into a repricing period, there's a strong chance you're now paying well above what major banks are currently offering. Mortgage interest rates in the Philippines have become increasingly competitive among larger institutions, and refinancing gives you the opportunity to take advantage of that competition without switching banks on your own.

Refinancing your SB Finance home loan through Nook means we do the heavy lifting for you — comparing rates from BDO, BPI, Metrobank, Security Bank, RCBC, and more to find you the lowest available rate for your remaining loan balance and term. On a 3,000,000 peso loan with 20 years remaining, moving from 8.50% to 5.99% translates to real, meaningful savings every single month. That money stays in your pocket, not in your bank's interest income. If you're curious about what BPI specifically offers, our BPI housing loan requirements guide is a good place to start comparing your options.

There is no fee for Nook's service — we are compensated by the bank you choose, not by you. Our role is to act as your mortgage broker, helping you navigate requirements, paperwork, and bank negotiations so your refinancing experience is smooth from application to approval. Most clients who refinance with Nook save over 50,000 pesos in the first year alone. If your SB Finance loan is more than two years old and you haven't reviewed your rate recently, now is the right time to find out what you could be saving.

Common questions

What SB Finance borrowers considering refinancing ask us.

Can I refinance my SB Finance home loan with a different bank?

Yes, refinancing with a different bank is entirely possible and very common in the Philippines. The new bank pays off your remaining SB Finance balance and issues you a new loan at a lower interest rate — you then make monthly payments to the new lender instead. Nook helps you identify which bank will offer you the best rate for your specific loan profile.

How much can I save by refinancing my SB Finance home loan?

Savings depend on your remaining loan balance, your current interest rate, and the new rate you qualify for. On a 3,000,000 peso loan moving from 8.50% to 5.99% over 20 years, borrowers save over 4,500 pesos per month — or more than 800,000 pesos over the life of the loan. Use Nook's free calculator to get an estimate based on your actual figures.

Is there a penalty for refinancing my SB Finance loan early?

SB Finance, like most Philippine lenders, may charge a pre-termination fee if you refinance during a fixed-rate lock-in period — this is typically around 2-3% of the outstanding loan balance. However, if your loan has already passed its fixed-rate period or is in a repricing window, penalties may not apply. Nook will review your loan terms with you before recommending refinancing to ensure the savings outweigh any exit costs.

How long does the refinancing process take?

The refinancing timeline in the Philippines typically runs between 30 and 60 days from application to loan release, depending on the receiving bank's processing speed and how quickly documents are submitted. Nook helps streamline this by preparing your application package and following up directly with the bank on your behalf. Most clients experience minimal hassle compared to applying on their own.

Is Nook's refinancing service really free for borrowers?

Yes, Nook's service is 100% free to you as the borrower. We earn a referral fee from the bank that approves your loan — similar to how a real estate agent is paid by the seller, not the buyer. You get expert mortgage brokerage, rate comparison across multiple banks, and full application support at no cost to you.

Every month you wait costs you ₱4,544.
