Loan comparison Switzerland - Why the most favourable interest rate is not always the best loan

The biggest mistake when comparing loans

"I simply take the loan with the lowest interest rate."
We hear this statement almost daily at credxperts.ch - and it is one of the most common reasonswhy borrowers are later dissatisfied or even get into financial difficulties.

Of course, the interest rate plays an important role. But in the Swiss credit market:
The most favourable interest rate is not automatically the best loan.

A serious loan comparison takes this into account:

• Probability of authorisation
• Long-term sustainability
• Flexibility
• Total costs
• Personal life situation
• Risk criteria of the bank and customer requirements of the bank

This is precisely where pure price comparison from qualitative credit counselling.

Why the lowest interest rate is often not approved

Many banks advertise extremely low introductory rates. However, these only apply to:

• Very high credit rating
• Above-average income
• Minimal budgetary burden
• Perfect ZEK history

This applies to the majority of applicants:
The advertised interest rate is not realistically achievable.

An application with unrealistic expectations often leads to:

• Rejection
• ZEK entry
• Deteriorated opportunities with other banks

Interest rate vs approval rate - which is more important?

A loan with:

• 3.9 % Interest
• but 30 % Probability of authorisation

is worth less than a loan with:

• 5.2 % Interest
• but 90 % Probability of authorisation

An approved loan is better than the cheapest one that you don't get.

credxperts.ch therefore prioritises:

• Realistic conditions
• Stable authorisation
• Long-term sustainability

Term: The underestimated lever in the loan comparison

Many people only compare the monthly instalment - not the term.

Short running time

• higher rate
• Higher probability of rejection
• Less financial room for manoeuvre

Longer running time

• lower rate
• Better budget accounting
• Higher chance of approval

The "optimum" running time is individual - not across the board.

Compare total costs instead of monthly instalments

Two loans can have the same monthly instalment - but very different total costs.

Example:

• Credit A: short term, high pressure
• Credit B: longer term, more flexibility

A good comparison shows:
What will the loan realistically cost me over the entire term?

---

Flexibility: an often overlooked factor

Important questions in the loan comparison:

• Are unscheduled repayments possible?
• Can the term be adjusted?
• Are there any fees for early repayment?
• How flexible is the loan in the event of life changes?

A slightly higher interest rate can be worthwhile if:

• the loan remains customisable
• no penalty fees are incurred

Credit comparison with existing loans

Anyone who already has commitments should compare particularly carefully.

Options:

• Debt rescheduling
• Credit increase
• Combination of several measures

More on this at Loan for debt rescheduling and Credit increase.

Interest rate optimisation as part of the loan comparison

A comparison only makes sense if it is also checked:

• whether existing loans can be optimised
• whether interest rates are renegotiable
• whether an overall solution is more favourable
