If you have a Sterling Bank home loan, chances are your interest rate is higher than it needs to be. Nook can help you compare refinancing options from leading Philippine banks — for free.
STERLING BANK BORROWER SAVINGS ESTIMATE
No commitment. No credit check. Just your numbers.
Why this matters
Many Filipino homeowners who took out a housing loan with Sterling Bank are still paying rates set years ago — often between 8% and 10% per annum. While that may have seemed reasonable at the time, the Philippine mortgage market has moved, and refinancing options today can be significantly more competitive. Through Nook, borrowers are accessing rates as low as 5.99% p.a., which can translate to tens of thousands of pesos in savings every single year. If your Sterling Bank loan is more than two years old and your property has appreciated in value, you may already be eligible to switch.
Refinancing works by replacing your existing Sterling Bank home loan with a new loan from a different lender — one offering a lower interest rate, better terms, or both. The process involves a new property appraisal, credit assessment, and loan application, but Nook handles all of the coordination on your behalf at no cost to you. We work with major Philippine banks including BDO, BPI, Security Bank, RCBC, and Metrobank, so you get genuine market-wide comparisons rather than a single offer. You can also check current mortgage interest rates in the Philippines to see exactly how Sterling Bank's rates stack up against what's available today.
The eligibility requirements for refinancing your Sterling Bank loan are similar to those for any new home loan application — you'll need proof of income, a clean credit history, and sufficient remaining equity in your property. Most lenders require that the loan-to-value ratio does not exceed 80%, and salaried employees typically need at least two years of employment history with their current employer. If you're unsure where to start, Nook's advisors will walk you through every step. For borrowers curious about specific bank requirements, our guide to BPI housing loan requirements in the Philippines gives a useful benchmark for what documentation to prepare.

Common questions
It depends on the terms of your existing Sterling Bank loan agreement. Many home loans include a lock-in period of one to three years during which early repayment or refinancing attracts a penalty fee. Nook can help you review your loan terms and calculate whether the savings from refinancing still outweigh any penalty costs.
On a 3,000,000 peso loan with 20 years remaining, switching from an 8.50% rate to Nook's best available rate of 5.99% p.a. could save you over 4,000 pesos per month — that's more than 48,000 pesos a year. Your actual savings will depend on your outstanding balance, remaining term, and the rate you qualify for.
The refinancing process typically takes four to eight weeks from application to loan release, depending on the receiving bank and how quickly your documents are submitted. Nook streamlines this by managing the paperwork and bank coordination on your behalf, which significantly reduces delays.
