The Consumer Loan Agreement is a fundamental document used in Swiss consumer finance transactions when a financial institution extends credit to individual borrowers for personal, family, or household purposes. This agreement must strictly comply with the Federal Consumer Credit Act (KKG/LCC) and related regulations, which mandate specific content requirements, interest rate caps, and consumer protection measures. The document includes mandatory creditworthiness assessments, clear cost structures, and cooling-off period rights. It is designed for use in Switzerland and must reflect cantonal variations where applicable. The agreement typically covers loan amounts between CHF 500 and CHF 80,000, though different rules may apply for larger amounts or specific loan types.
