Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

UCPB — United Coconut Planters Bank — has long served Filipino homeowners, but many borrowers find themselves locked into repriced rates of 8% to 10% or higher after their initial fixed-rate period ends. If your loan has been repriced in the last few years and you haven't shopped around, there's a strong chance you're leaving thousands of pesos on the table every single month. Refinancing your UCPB housing loan means switching your outstanding balance to a new lender with a lower interest rate — and right now, the best available refinance rate through Nook is 5.99% p.a.

Nook is the Philippines' first digital mortgage broker, which means we do the comparison work for you across BDO, BPI, Metrobank, Security Bank, RCBC, and more — all at zero cost to you. We handle the paperwork, negotiate on your behalf, and guide you through every step of the switch. For a ₱3,000,000 outstanding balance at 8.50%, refinancing to 5.99% could reduce your monthly payment by over ₱3,000 — that's real money back in your pocket. You can also explore how EastWest Bank compares to UCPB on refinancing rates if you want to see specific lender alternatives side by side.

The process is simpler than most borrowers expect. Once you submit your details through Nook, we assess your loan balance, remaining term, and current rate to identify the best refinancing offers available to you. Most refinancing applications take 4 to 8 weeks from submission to approval. Whether your UCPB loan is for a house and lot, condominium, or townhouse, Nook can help you determine whether switching makes financial sense — and if it does, we make it happen.

Common questions

What UCPB housing loan borrowers ask us.

Can I refinance my UCPB housing loan even if it's still within the lock-in period?

Refinancing during a lock-in period usually triggers a prepayment penalty from UCPB, which typically ranges from 1% to 3% of the outstanding loan balance. Nook will help you calculate whether the long-term savings from a lower rate outweigh the penalty cost. In many cases, even with the fee, switching still saves you significantly more over the remaining loan term.

What interest rate can I get if I refinance away from UCPB?

Through Nook, the best available refinance rate is currently 5.99% p.a. on a fixed-rate period. The exact rate you qualify for will depend on your loan amount, property value, income, and chosen bank. Nook compares offers from multiple Philippine banks to find you the most competitive terms.

How much does it cost to refinance through Nook?

Nook's service is completely free for borrowers — we are paid by the bank, not by you. You will still need to budget for standard third-party costs such as appraisal fees, notarial fees, and transfer taxes, which vary by bank and property. Nook will walk you through all expected costs upfront so there are no surprises.

How long does it take to refinance a UCPB housing loan?

The refinancing process typically takes between 4 to 8 weeks from the time you submit your complete documents. This includes bank processing, property appraisal, and loan documentation. Nook manages the timeline on your behalf and keeps you informed at every stage.

What documents do I need to start refinancing my UCPB loan?

You'll generally need your latest UCPB loan statement, proof of income (payslips or ITR), a copy of your Transfer Certificate of Title, and a recent tax declaration for the property. Employed and self-employed borrowers have slightly different requirements. Once you connect with Nook, we'll send you a personalised checklist based on your specific situation.

Every month you wait costs you ₱3,069.
