On what conditions is a credit granted? expand_more
The most important condition is that you are of age and employed. The credit is granted after your personal information has been examined and checked in compliance with the Consumer Credit Act (KKG) and bank-internal guidelines.
Approval of a loan is forbidden by law if it would lead to over-indebtedness on the part of the customer (legal stipulation as required by Art. 3, Federal Unfair Competition Act).
What interests and costs am I to expect? expand_more
The interest rate is between 7.95% and 11.95%. The exact interest rate, however, is determined after your application has been processed. This happens due to your personal conditions and, possibly, on the basis of earlier or existing agreements. The cost of credit results from the amount of credit, the duration and the interest rate. Use our Cash Credit calculator in order to inform yourself about further details.
When do I receive my money? expand_more
If a positive financing decision is made, an offer is sent to you which you need to sign and return. After a legal fourteen-working-day waiting period has expired, you can have the agreed amount of money transferred to your bank account. You find further information concerning the application process here.
What documents do you need from me? expand_more
To enable us to process your financial request we need your completed loan application form, a copy of your ID (passport, identity card or driving license; non-nationals are also required to provide a copy of their residency permit) and an up-to-date wage slip. We shall contact you if any further documentation is required, e.g. evidence of your address, employment situation, financial position and any previous credit history.
What is the maximum amount I can receive? expand_more
The finance amount is based on your personal financial conditions and varies from person to person. When completing your credit application, just enter your personal information as well as your desired amount. We will be happy to prepare a personal offer for you.
