Manila, Philippines – Filinvest Land, Inc. (FLI) has partnered with East West Banking Corporation (EastWest) to launch a financing program that makes homeownership more accessible by reducing upfront costs and accelerating the path to ownership for select ready-for-occupancy (RFO) properties.

By combining flexible payment terms with faster loan processing and zero bank fees, the partnership offers a more practical pathway for buyers—particularly first-time homeowners and young families—to secure a home and move in sooner.

Under the partnership, buyers can secure financing for up to 95% of the total contract price of select ready-for-occupancy units, with a down payment starting at just 5%, payable either through spot cash or installment over up to 12 months. Select projects also offer early move-in opportunities, with some requiring less than the standard 5% down payment.

Filinvest Land and EastWest Bank also recognize a common hurdle faced by homebuyers—the sudden increase in monthly bank amortization once the down payment period ends. To help ease this transition, EastWest Bank will offer Filinvest Land buyers longer loan tenors of up to 30 years with preferential interest rates, subject to standard credit evaluation.

The partnership further reduces upfront costs through zero bank fees. This complements the discounts, gift vouchers, and flexible payment terms that Filinvest Land already offers across select condominium, house-and-lot, and lot-only projects.

To help speed up the financing process, EastWest will have a special lane for faster evaluation of qualified applications, with pre-qualification typically completed within three banking days.

“At Filinvest Land, we understand the hesitations many families face when taking their first step toward homeownership, and we are committed to providing ways to make this journey more achievable for every Filipino,” said Tristan Las Marias, President and CEO of Filinvest Land. “This partnership with EastWest Bank strengthens our efforts to remove common barriers to owning a home, helping more families move into their homes sooner and with greater ease.”

Las Marias added that initiatives like this reflect Filinvest Land’s broader commitment to building communities where families can live with greater convenience and connectivity.

“For more than five decades, Filinvest Land has continued to design communities that bring homes, workplaces, and everyday essentials closer together,” he said. “By making financing more accessible, we help more Filipino families become part of these connected communities where opportunities are within easier reach.”

“EastWest is proud to work alongside Filinvest Land in offering a financing program that truly supports the needs of Filipino homebuyers,” said EastWest President Jackie S. Fernandez. “Our shared goal is to make the home‑buying journey easier by offering a loan experience that’s faster, clearer, and more accessible. We want more families to feel confident and supported as they take this important step toward owning a home.”

The promo is available for a limited time and applies exclusively to select ready-for-occupancy projects. All applications remain subject to bank approval and Filinvest Land’s standard guidelines.

Through this program, Filinvest Land and EastWest Bank continue their shared mission of enabling more Filipinos to achieve the long-held aspiration of owning a home—now made simpler, lighter, and within easier reach.
