Why this matters
UnionBank is one of the Philippines' most digitally advanced banks, and its housing loan product reflects that — with competitive fixed rates starting at 7.00% p.a. for a 1-year fixed period, flexible loan purposes ranging from ready-for-occupancy units to home equity and renovation, and income requirements accessible to private employees, OFWs, self-employed professionals, and BPO workers earning at least ₱30,000 per month. If you're computing your UnionBank housing loan amortization, the figures above give you a realistic baseline for a ₱3,000,000 loan over 20 years — but your actual rate will depend on your fixing period, loan-to-value ratio, and credit profile. You can also compare UnionBank vs BDO housing loan rates side by side to see how the two stacks up before you decide.
Here's what most borrowers don't realize: the rate you locked in when you first took out your home loan may no longer be the best available to you. Many Filipino homeowners are still paying 8% to 10% p.a. on loans they took out three to five years ago — and because of how amortization works, even a 1.5 to 2.5 percentage point reduction can translate to hundreds of thousands of pesos in interest savings over the life of the loan. Through Nook, you can refinance to as low as 5.99% p.a. with UnionBank or other partner banks, and the service is completely free to you as the borrower.

Common questions
To compute your monthly amortization, you need three inputs: the loan amount, the annual interest rate, and the loan term in months. Using the standard amortization formula — or a calculator like this one — a ₱3,000,000 loan at 7.00% p.a. over 20 years works out to approximately ₱23,259 per month. Keep in mind that UnionBank typically offers fixed rates for the first 1 to 5 years, after which the rate reprices based on prevailing market rates.
UnionBank's current housing loan rate for a 1-year fixed period starts at 7.00% p.a., which is among the more competitive offerings from a major Philippine universal bank. Rates for longer fixing periods (3 to 5 years) are typically higher to account for the extended rate lock. Always confirm the latest rates directly with UnionBank or through Nook, as rates are subject to change without prior notice.
UnionBank accepts applications from a wide range of employment types, including private employees, government workers, BPO employees, OFWs and seafarers, self-employed individuals, and licensed professionals. The minimum monthly income requirement is ₱30,000, and your total debt-to-income ratio (DTI) must not exceed 50% — meaning your total monthly loan obligations, including the new housing loan, should not exceed half your gross monthly income.
Yes — refinancing to UnionBank is one of the options Nook can facilitate for you, completely free of charge. Nook compares UnionBank's offer alongside other partner banks so you get the lowest rate available for your specific profile and loan size. The process is fully digital, and Nook's mortgage specialists handle all coordination with the bank on your behalf.
Generally, refinancing makes the most financial sense when you have at least 10 or more years remaining on your loan term, since the interest savings compound over time. However, even borrowers five to seven years in can benefit significantly if their current rate is 8% or higher and they can refinance to 5.99% p.a. Nook will calculate your breakeven point — accounting for any applicable fees — so you can make an informed decision before committing.
