Credit despite existing obligations - What banks in Switzerland really check

Why existing obligations are not an automatic exclusion criterion

Many people in Switzerland assume that a new loan not possible is when financial obligations already exist. These include

• Current loans
• Leasing contracts
• Alimony
• Maintenance payments
• Instalment purchases

This assumption is understandablebut in most cases wrong.

In practice, Swiss banks regularly grant loans despite existing obligations - however not indiscriminatelybut according to clear, comprehensible criteria.

That is not the key, none obligations, but in this,
how well these fit into the Budget account are integrated.

What are "existing obligations"?

From the banks' perspective, this includes all regular financial burdensthat are not cancelled in the short term:

Typical obligations

• running Personal loans
• Car loan or leasing
• Credit card rates
• Instalment purchases (e.g. furniture, electronics)
• Maintenance obligations
• Guarantees

Check banks not isolatedbut consider the Overall situation.

The biggest mistake: "I already have a loan - so I won't get another one"

This is one of the most common errors in thinking.

The decisive factor is:

• not whether Obligations exist
• but how high the remaining financial sustainability is

One person with:

• CHF 7,000 Income
• CHF 1,000 Loan instalment

can Better opportunities than someone with:

• CHF 4,500 Income
• CHF 300 Credit instalment

Ratio, not absolute numberis decisive.

The budget calculation: the centrepiece of every credit decision

The income statement is the banks' most important instrument.

It answers a central question:

Is the income permanently sufficient to cover all obligations? including new loan to wear?

Factors taken into account

• Net income
• Housing costs
• Health insurance
• Commuting and catering
• Existing loans
• Living expenses (flat rates specified in the KKG)
• Maintenance obligations

After all deductions, there is enough in reserve, a loan is possible - even with obligations.

Why loans with obligations are rejected more frequently

Rejections are usually not because of the obligations themselves, but because of:

• too high overall rate
• unstructured credit landscape
• several parallel loans
• lack of transparency
• Incorrect runtime selection

This is exactly where a professional preliminary inspection comes in.
