You can get a home of your choice with the UnionBank home loan. You can borrow at least ₱500,000 and up to 90% of the selling price of the property. This will be determined by your creditworthiness, the property you wish to acquire, and the cash down payment you want to make. You can purchase a vacant lot, a house and lot, a residential condominium, or a townhouse from an extensive list of highly sought-after developers.

Pros and cons
Check out these pros and cons before you go on to apply for a loan:
Pros
The loans can be authorized in as little as five days.
There are no surprises or hidden fees. All fees will be disclosed before loan acceptance. More information is available on the UnionBank website.
The self-assessment test will allow you to establish whether or not you are qualified.
Cons
Unionbank requests a list of clients and suppliers from self-employed candidates. You must obtain their permission to share their information with the bank, and they will, most of the time, refuse.
Unionbank, like any other major bank, will investigate your credit history. The loan may be denied if you do not have a solid credit history.
How to repay a UnionBank home loan?
Like the auto loan, UnionBank home loan borrowers can choose from three payment options. They can pay their monthly amortizations at any UnionBank branch or by issuing UnionBank post-dated checks. Borrowers can also use the auto-debit arrangement (ADA) function, which requires them to designate their accounts and define the amount and payment schedule. The payments will be withdrawn automatically from their UnionBank savings or checking accounts every month.
