Why this matters

Your bank is counting on you not checking.

UnionBank is known for its strong digital banking platform, and many Filipino homeowners chose it for the convenience of managing their finances online. But having a great banking app doesn't always mean you're getting the most competitive home loan rate. If your loan was locked in a few years ago, the rate you're paying today could be significantly higher than what's available in the current market — and that gap is costing you real money every single month.

Refinancing your UnionBank home loan through Nook gives you access to a wide panel of lenders, including UnionBank itself, all competing to offer you the best possible rate. With rates starting at 5.99% p.a., switching could reduce your monthly amortisation by thousands of pesos without requiring you to change banks if you don't want to. Nook's team of mortgage specialists handles the comparison, paperwork, and coordination on your behalf — completely free of charge to you as the borrower.

The process is straightforward and fully digital. You share your loan details, Nook evaluates your profile, and you receive a personalised refinancing recommendation backed by real lender offers. Whether your goal is to lower your monthly payments, shorten your loan term, or access your home equity, Nook finds the right fit for your financial situation. Interest rates are subject to change, so the sooner you check, the sooner you can lock in a better deal.

Common questions

What UnionBank home loan holders ask us.

Can I refinance my UnionBank home loan and stay with UnionBank?

Yes, absolutely. Refinancing doesn't necessarily mean moving to a different bank. Nook compares rates across multiple lenders including UnionBank itself, so if UnionBank offers the most competitive rate for your profile, you can refinance in-house. The goal is always to get you the best rate available, regardless of which bank that ends up being.

How much could I realistically save by refinancing my UnionBank home loan?

Based on a loan balance of 3,000,000 at 8.50% versus Nook's best available rate of 5.99% p.a. on a 20-year term, you could save over 3,000 pesos per month — that's more than 36,000 per year. Your actual savings will depend on your outstanding balance, remaining term, and the rate you qualify for, which Nook will calculate for you at no cost.

Does Nook charge a fee to help me refinance?

Nook's service is 100% free for borrowers. Nook earns a referral fee from the bank when your loan is successfully placed, so there is no charge to you at any stage of the process. You get expert mortgage brokering, full lender comparison, and end-to-end application support without spending a single peso.

What are the eligibility requirements to refinance through Nook?

General requirements include a minimum monthly income of around 30,000 pesos, a debt-to-income ratio of no more than 50%, and a property with an existing mortgage that is in good standing. Nook works with borrowers who are employed in the private sector, government, BPO, OFW or seafarer, self-employed, or working as licensed professionals.

How long does the UnionBank home loan refinancing process take?

The typical refinancing timeline runs between 30 to 60 days from application to loan release, depending on the lender and the completeness of your documents. Nook helps you prepare and submit everything correctly from the start, which reduces delays and keeps the process moving as efficiently as possible. Rates are subject to change, so starting early gives you the best chance of locking in a favorable offer.

Every month you wait costs you ₱3,069.
