What does dual pricing mean at Migros Bank?

Migros Bank charges lower rates online than in the branch (4.9% to 7.9% instead of 5.4% to 8.4%). The 0.5-percentage-point difference is the price for personal advice on site. Anyone who fills out the application digitally saves that difference.

Why are Migros Bank's requirements so strict?

Migros Bank funds itself through customer deposits and therefore wants the safest possible borrowers. It requires permanent employment of at least 6 months, no self-employment, a net income starting at CHF 3'000 per month, and a clean ZEK record. This selection explains why the rates are so low.

Can I get a loan from Migros Bank as a self-employed person?

Only in exceptional cases, for example doctors or lawyers with 5 or more years of experience. For most self-employed people, another bank in the market is the better option. Through an inquiry at privatkredit.ch, we find the right provider for you.

What is the maximum loan amount at Migros Bank?

The maximum amount is CHF 100'000. Anyone who needs a higher sum needs a different provider in the market whose credit range extends further.

Do I have an advantage as a Migros customer?

Not officially, but in practice, yes: anyone who regularly receives income through their Migros account and spends stably shows the bank their creditworthiness directly. That can increase your chances, but it also comes with more transparency toward the bank.

Migros Bank Personal Loan: Rates, Conditions, and Who It Suits

Migros Bank issues personal loans starting at 4.9% effective annual rate online, one of the lowest rates in the Swiss market. The catch: you only get this rate with stable permanent employment, a clean ZEK record, and sufficient income. We show you where you stand, and take care of the inquiry with the bank that actually fits your profile.

Who Is Migros Bank

A Savings Bank, Not a Loan Factory

Migros Bank has been the Migros cooperative's financial institution since 1996, headquartered in Zurich. Unlike many lenders, it funds itself through customer deposits rather than the money market. That also explains its business logic: the bank needs reliable customers who repay their loan reliably, and passes that security on in the form of low interest rates.

If you are permanently employed, have worked in the same job for at least six months, and can show a net income starting at CHF 3'000 per month, you belong to the target group. Self-employed people, new employees, and people with open debt collection records have a considerably harder time at Migros Bank than elsewhere.

This is exactly why an inquiry through privatkredit.ch pays off: we know the requirements of Migros Bank and other providers in the market and know which profile has the best chances at which bank. A single inquiry with us is enough, so you do not have to move from bank to bank yourself and leave unnecessary marks on your credit record along the way.
