Here are some key points that you should bear in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>ZEK entry:<\/strong> Every loan application is recorded in the Central Credit Information Centre (ZEK). This central database enables lenders to check the credit history of applicants.<strong>Note:<\/strong> Negative ZEK codes make borrowing considerably more difficult.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Credit rating and credit history:<\/strong> Multiple credit enquiries, regardless of the provider, can affect your credit rating and reduce your chances of being granted credit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Exclusion criteria:<\/strong> Loans are not possible in the case of debt enforcement proceedings, certificates of loss or seizures. Banks do not grant loans to repay outstanding debt enforcement proceedings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blocking periods after repayments:<\/strong> Nach R\u00fcckzahlungen von Pf\u00e4ndungen und Verlustscheinen gilt eine Sperrfrist von 2 bis 5 Jahren f\u00fcr neue Kreditaufnahmen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Budget review and risk calculation:<\/strong> A budget check and risk calculation is mandatory for loan applications. Banks access various databases with risk profiles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cancellation period and payment:<\/strong> Loans are only paid out after a cancellation period of 14 days. During this period, both you and the bank can withdraw from the loan agreement without any particular reason.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Effective loan interest rate:<\/strong> With a good credit rating and low risk, you will receive a low effective loan interest rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Minimum requirements for a loan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To obtain a loan, you must fulfil certain criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Minimum age of 18 years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a monthly net income of at least CHF 3,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> a Swiss residence permit (C, G or B, at least 12 months in Switzerland)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a permanent or temporary position (at least 6 months temporary) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Self-employment with a company duration of at least 24 months and no debt enforcement proceedings, loss certificates or seizures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>If you are looking for the best loan in Switzerland, we at bestfinance.ch are your competent partner.
