To obtain a personal loan in Switzerland, it is essential to comply with certain legal conditions aimed at protecting borrowers against over-indebtedness. The Federal Consumer Credit Act (LCC) states that the borrower must demonstrate the ability to repay the loan, including interest, over a period of 36 months, even if the credit term is longer.
Eligibility criteria include:
- Age: be at least 18 years old.
- Income: have a regular income sufficient to cover monthly expenses and credit repayments.
- Professional status: have a stable job with a permanent contract.
- Residence: be resident in Switzerland with a valid residence permit (B or C).
- Solvency: not having any lawsuits or acts of default in progress.
Financial institutions assess credit capacity by comparing the borrower's net income to monthly expenses, such as rent, insurance, and other outstanding loans, in order to determine whether the monthly payments of the new credit are sustainable without compromising the personal budget.
