1. Protection from over-indebtedness
The Consumer Credit Act applies to loans of up to CHF 80,000. For loans above this amount, consumers are not protected by the Consumer Credit Act. Calculate approximately how much you can afford to borrow.
2. Choose repayment term
The benefit of a longer repayment term is that the monthly instalments are lower. The longer the repayment term, however, the higher the total cost of the loan.
Nevertheless, it is advisable to plan realistically and, in particular, budget for irregular and unexpected costs.
You can pay off (amortize) the loan earlier at any time, which will reduce the cost of your loan.
3. ZEK and credit check
The Central Office for Credit Information (ZEK) is a platform for banks to exchange information on the credit standing of their clients. The ZEK registers all information on transactions involving personal loans, car leases and credit cards. If anybody promises you a loan without involving the ZEK, this is usually an untrustworthy lender.
