for your car purchase?

After a comprehensive needs analysis, we work with you to find the best financing product that best meets your requirements.

You can repay a car loan early at any time, the interest costs only affect the effective term. You are welcome to use our repayment calculator for loans. The situation is different with leasing, as you will see in the next section.
Car loan or leasing: what are the differences?
A lease is a triangular transaction between the car garage, the lessor (leasing company) and the lessee (vehicle owner). The leasing company buys the car from the garage. It is therefore the owner of the vehicle and imposes certain restrictions, such as the number of kilometres or the obligation to have fully comprehensive insurance. The lessee is the user of the car for a contractually agreed period. In return, they pay the contractually agreed leasing instalment each month. In addition, they bear all maintenance costs in the same way as someone who owns a car - whether paid in cash or via a car loan.
A consumer loan - also known as a personal loan - is not tied to a specific purpose: If you finance your car with a car loan, the vehicle is yours from day one. You can freely dispose of the car and sell it on at any time. In the case of leasing, on the other hand, the Road Traffic Licence Office code 178 applies: as the lessee, you are not allowed to sell the vehicle (= change of ownership prohibited).
Another difference between a car loan and leasing is the early cancellation of the contract: if you cancel a leasing contract early, you have to pay additional costs and penalty interest. With early cancellation of a car loan, you even benefit from an interest waiver. Furthermore, leasing is not tax-deductible like a car loan. You can deduct the full amount of a car loan from your taxes - the loan interest from your income and the loan debt from your assets.
What requirements do you need to fulfil for a car loan?
The Consumer Credit Act (KKG) regulates the requirements for credit eligibility: According to this, a loan - whether for a vehicle, a student loan or for another investment - may only be granted to persons of legal age who are gainfully employed. Borrowers must be able to pay their loan instalments from the non-attachable part of their income. Furthermore, you should be able to repay a consumer loan, including interest, within 36 months, even if you have agreed a longer loan term. In addition to these requirements for taking out a loan, Swiss credit providers also check other criteria.

Car loan or lease – which is cheaper for CHF 30,000?
Leasing payments often appear lower because there is a residual value at the end of the term and the car remains the property of the leasing company. With a car loan, you pay off the vehicle in full, become the owner from day one, are free to sell it at any time and are not tied to comprehensive insurance or mileage limits. If you intend to keep the car for longer than four to five years or cover a lot of kilometres, a car loan is usually the more cost-effective option. You can find a detailed cost comparison in the guide Car loans or leasing in Switzerland.
Financing a used car, a new car or an electric car
- Occasion: When taking out a loan, the age of the vehicle is irrelevant – unlike with leasing, which is often not even offered for older cars.
- New cars: If you take out a loan, you can negotiate with the dealer as if you were paying in cash and will often receive a discount that covers part of the interest costs.
- Electric car: Higher purchase costs, but lower running costs. A slightly longer repayment term keeps the instalments manageable; early repayments are possible at any time.
- Motorbikes and motorhomes: They work on the same principle – the loan is not tied to the vehicle.
Who is eligible for a car loan in Switzerland?
Banks generally approve car loans for applicants with a fixed income and permanent employment (probationary period completed), who are resident in Switzerland (Swiss nationals, C permit or B permit, subject to a minimum period of residence depending on the bank) and a clean credit history from the ZEK and no outstanding debt enforcement proceedings. Existing leases and loans are taken into account in the budget calculation – so it is sometimes worth using the new loan to pay off an existing lease. The Budget calculator.
Repay a car loan early or pay it off in full
Under the Consumer Credit Act, you are entitled to repay a car loan in full or in part at any time; in that case, you will only owe the interest accrued up to the date of repayment. If you already have an expensive car loan, check with the Redemption calculator, how much you’ll save with a cheaper offer.
