Checklist: How to recognise a reputable credit broker

Warning signs: You should be careful here

• A fee is charged before you are granted a loan.
• Promises such as «no credit check» or «guaranteed even if you’re in debt recovery» – in Switzerland, a creditworthiness check is required by law.
• No legal notice with a Swiss address; no information regarding authorisation.
• Pressure to sign immediately – you have a 14-day right of withdrawal for any consumer credit agreement.

A credit broker or straight to the bank?

Important: Multiple individual applications submitted to different banks may appear in the ZEK database. A broker who targets applications effectively can help avoid unnecessary rejections.

Frequently asked questions about credit brokers in Switzerland

How much does a credit broker cost in Switzerland?

You don’t have to pay anything. Under Article 35 of the Consumer Credit Act (KKG), consumers do not owe any compensation to the consumer credit intermediary. The intermediary is paid by the bank.

Is a loan arranged through a broker more expensive?

No. The interest rates are the same as those offered directly by the bank – by comparing several banks, you can often even get a lower interest rate.

How can I tell if an estate agent is reputable?

A cantonal licence, a Swiss address, no upfront fees and verifiable reviews. Promises such as «credit without a credit check» are a red flag.

Who would particularly benefit from using a credit broker?

For anyone wishing to compare several quotes – particularly where larger sums are involved, for B or G authorisation, for the self-employed, or if an existing loan is to be refinanced.
