Borrowers pay an annual fee of 0.80% of the gross credit amount. This fee is raised after a successful auction and will be deducted for the whole credit run-time at the beginning. For a credit amount of CHF 10'000, with a run-time of 36 months, the charges are CHF 70 per year. So, the accumulated fees will be CHF 240. The borrower will receive a net credit payment of CHF 9'760.

The fees will be deducted from the credit amount at the beginning of the run-time, automatically. You will not have to pay any additional charges.
