Many homeowners in Singapore unknowingly pay more on their home loans than necessary.
A simple review could mean lower monthly repayments, thousands saved in interest, and better loan flexibility.
At JC Mortgage, we help you decide whether repricing or refinancing will deliver real savings—based on numbers, not guesswork.
Repricing vs Refinancing: Quick Comparison
Factor | Repricing | Refinancing |
Bank | Same bank | Different bank |
Process | Simple | More complex |
Time | ~2–4 weeks | ~6–12 weeks |
Cost | Low | Higher (offset by cash rebates) |
Savings Potential | Moderate (low for small loans) | High (especially for large loans) |
Flexibility | Limited | Greater |
Why Refinancing Can Be More Powerful
· Access market-leading rates (~2.0%–2.5%, some ~1.65%)
· Restructure your loan for better terms
· Cash rebates: S$2,000–S$3,500 depending on loan size
· Especially beneficial for larger loans, where even small rate differences create significant savings
For smaller loans (< ~S$500,000), savings from repricing or refinancing are often limited due to lower interest and smaller subsidies.
Real Savings Example
Loan Amount | Current Rate | New Rate | Monthly Savings | Annual Savings | Cash Rebate | Total 1-Year Benefit |
S$500,000 | 2.5% | 1.65% | S$180–250 | S$2,100–3,000 | S$2,000–3,500 | S$4,000–6,500+ |
Even moderate rate differences, combined with cash rebates, can create meaningful financial benefits.
When to Reprice
Repricing works best if:
· You want quick, low-effort savings
· Your bank offers a competitive revised rate
· Market rate differences are small
At JC Mortgage, we recommend repricing only when refinancing does not produce higher net savings.
When to Refinance
Refinancing is ideal if:
· You want maximum total savings
· Market rates are lower than your current loan
· Your lock-in period has ended
· Your loan size is large, increasing interest savings and rebate eligibility
