Pros and cons
Pros
- No upfront fees: 0 EUR (no upfront fees) on the consolidation loans it arranges
- A soft prequalification step, soft prequal, shows where you stand before a full application
- Partner banks weigh earnings next to your Schufa file, so a negative entry is not an automatic refusal
- Loans of €500 to €300,000 over 24 to 144 at a fixed rate, so the instalment stays level
Cons
- Payout runs 3 to 10 working days; fast payout advertised after a partner bank approves, while a large share of the market funds the same day (30.8%)
- The stated credit bar is poor, and the floor of -0.4% to 10.33% goes to the strongest files
- The shortest term is 24 to 144, so a quick repayment window leaves little choice
Who it suits
- Adults in Germany holding several balances who want to replace them with a single fixed rate loan
- Borrowers with a negative Schufa entry and steady earnings, who may still be accepted by partner banks
- People who want a soft prequalification step and no upfront fee before committing to a lender
Who should look elsewhere
- Borrowers living outside Germany, who may prefer Cashspace, quoting PHP 12 to PHP 36 in Philippine pesos
- Anyone needing funds the same day, since payout runs 3 to 10 working days; fast payout advertised
- Readers who want a direct Spanish euro lender with a much higher entry amount, such as Creduma ES at from €12,000
Who runs it
BesserFinanz Umschuldung is operated by BesserFinanz GmbH, based in Germany and trading since 2015. The site works as a broker, so a partner bank issues the loan rather than BesserFinanz itself. Registration sits with the IHK fuer Muenchen und Oberbayern, both as a broker of loans under the German trade code and as a property loan broker listed in the Vermittlerregister. Support runs on email, phone and help centre.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to apply?+
There is no arrangement charge on the consolidation loans, which is 0 EUR (no upfront fees). The only cost is the interest, and that rate is fixed, so the monthly instalment does not drift upward during the term you take.
How much can I borrow?+
Loan amounts run €500 to €300,000, from a small consolidation bill to a large debt. The sum a partner bank actually offers depends on your earnings and your Schufa record rather than on the published range alone.
What interest will I pay?+
The rate is fixed, and the published range is -0.4% to 10.33%. A fixed rate means the instalment stays the same for the whole term, which helps people who want steady monthly costs and no rate shock later.
How long can the loan run?+
Terms run 24 to 144. A longer term eases the monthly instalment but adds to the total repaid, and the term a partner bank offers follows your earnings and Schufa file.
Will a negative Schufa entry stop me applying?+
Not by itself. The lending banks look at earnings next to your Schufa file, so an entry does not rule an application out. The stated credit bar is poor, so weaker files find it harder.
What do I need before applying?+
Applicants live in Germany and hold an account with a German bank, since the lending banks pay out there. Earnings and your Schufa file are weighed together, and the prequalification step, soft prequal, shows how lenders view you before you commit.
How fast is the money paid out?+
Payout takes 3 to 10 working days; fast payout advertised, and a fast payout is advertised on the same page. That clock starts after a partner bank approves the application, not after you send the form.
How do I reach support?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre. The company behind the site is BesserFinanz GmbH, and its broking activity is registered with the IHK fuer Muenchen und Oberbayern, so the trading details sit on file.
