What are the requirements to obtain a loan?

To obtain a loan in Switzerland, it is essential to meet criteria for solvency and good repute. Regarding solvency, the Consumer Credit Act (LCC) requires an assessment of your repayment capacity, which involves creating a detailed budget.

In addition, the lending bank will evaluate your creditworthiness by reviewing data on your payment history from information databases such as ZEK (Zentralstelle für Kreditinformation) or CRIF.

Our advisors are available to assess your situation quickly and without obligation, helping you understand the credit options available to you.

Additionally, the Ordinance to the FADP provides further guidelines.

Borrowers have the right to request access to their data and understand how it is used in the credit decision-making process.
