If you are looking for a home loan with fixed interest rates, then Security Bank’s 6 for 5 Home Loan Promo might be what you are looking for. In a nutshell, the promo simply means you can get a home from Security Bank at 6% fixed interest rate per annum with 5 years fixing period, plus you can enjoy up to Php50,000 in waived fees.
My wife and I remember the last time they had this promo because we got our housing loan BEFORE the promo started… what a bummer!
While we’re very happy with our loan from Security Bank, it’s hard to forget that we could have saved a lot of money on interest and waived fees (up to Php50K is a lot!).
Anyway, this serves as a heads-up for you because you can still get the best fixed interest rates from Security Bank up to June 15, 2017. Details below.
