Do I need to earn a salary in order to get a loan in Switzerland? If so, how much do I have to earn in order to qualify? Are there minimum income requirements?

Greetings,

Most Swiss lenders require that loan applicants have a minimum income in order for their loan to be approved. As a rule, an income of at least 2500 Swiss francs is required. Many lenders have higher income requirements. For example, cashgateCredit only provides its 7.9% interest loan to applicants with a monthly income of 4000 francs or more.

The comprehensive loan comparison on moneyland.ch automatically limits results to offers which match your income. Just note that income is not the only eligibility requirement because lenders look at both your income and your expenses when deciding whether or not you can afford a loan. Even if you have a very high income, you will not likely be approved if your expenses consume all or most of your income.
