RCBC home loan, applied for you — by Nook

RCBC + Nook

Get an RCBC home loan without dealing with the bank

An RCBC home loan lets you finance a house and lot, vacant lot, townhouse or condominium — or build, renovate or refinance — and borrow up to 80% of your property's appraised value. Applying directly still means forms and follow-ups. With Nook, you don't apply for your RCBC home loan; we do the whole thing for you.

Nook is the Philippines' original and award-winning mortgage broker — awarded Best Mortgage Broker Philippines. When you pre-qualify, a dedicated Nook loan consultant is assigned to you. They prepare your RCBC application, collect and check your documents, lodge everything with the bank and handle every back-and-forth until you're approved. You never accomplish a bank form or queue at a branch.

As RCBC's official partner, Nook can access interest-rate discounts that RCBC offers specifically for Nook clients. And because Nook doesn't only look at RCBC — we compare it against 20+ banks at the same time — you can see whether RCBC gives you the sharpest rate and the best chance of approval, or whether another lender on the panel fits you better. You stay in control; we carry the work.

It's 100% free to you. Banks, including RCBC, pay Nook a commission only once your loan is released — so expert brokering costs you nothing.

How rates work

Understanding RCBC home loan interest rates

Rather than quote a number that changes with the market, here's how RCBC pricing actually works — and how Nook makes sure you get the best one available.

RCBC home loan rates are typically offered as a fixed rate for a period you choose, after which the loan moves to a repricing rate. Generally, the shorter the fixing period, the lower the headline rate, while longer fixing gives you more certainty for longer. Your final rate also depends on the loan amount, the property and your income profile.

As RCBC's official partner, Nook can access interest-rate discounts that RCBC reserves for Nook clients. And because advertised rates move and the lowest one isn't always the best fit, Nook checks RCBC's current pricing for your specific situation and compares it against 20+ banks at once. You see the real numbers side by side and only proceed with RCBC if it genuinely wins — the same free comparison Nook runs for every client.
