How much does a pawn loan cost?
A pawn loan incurs 1% interest per month on the loan amount plus monthly costs. Up to 300 euros, the amount of these costs is set by the Pfandleiherverordnung (German Pawnbrokers Ordinance). For higher amounts, Grüne’s Leihhäuser charges 3% of the loan amount per month. You will be told all costs before taking out the pawn loan, and you will also find them on your pawn ticket.
Calculate your pawn loan in advanceTo take out a pawn loan, you must be at least 18 years old. Please bring a valid ID. Depending on the document or your personal situation, further proof may be required.

All questions & answers-
How long does a pawn loan run?
A pawn loan at Grüne’s Leihhäuser runs for three months. During this time you can redeem your valuable item or extend the pawn loan.
-
Can I extend my pawn loan?
Yes. You can extend your pawn loan by another three months as often as you like. To do so, you pay the interest and monthly costs incurred up to that point. If you redeem earlier, you only pay for the months begun.
-
What happens if I don’t redeem my valuable item?
If you do not redeem your valuable item or extend the pawn loan before the deadline, it goes to public auction in accordance with the Pfandleiherverordnung (German Pawnbrokers Ordinance). Any excess proceeds (surplus) are paid out to you. If the auction raises less than the amount owed, Grüne’s Leihhäuser bears the shortfall. You are not personally liable and there is no SCHUFA entry.
-
How is the value of my item determined?
Our pawnbrokers value your item directly on site. They take into account its condition, age and current market value, among other things. On this basis, you receive your pawn loan offer.
-
Do I have to take the full pawn loan available?
No. You decide how much you want to borrow. For example, if the valuation shows a possible pawn loan of 800 euros, you can take just 400 euros. This leaves you the option of borrowing more against the item later.
-
What documents do I need for a pawn loan?
You need a valid ID showing your current registered address. An identity card already includes the address. If you present a passport, you also need proof of your registered address, such as a certificate of registration (Meldebescheinigung) or a residence permit.
-
Why should I give my email address?
With your email address, we can notify you before an unredeemed pledge goes to auction. This gives you the chance to redeem it beforehand or extend the pawn loan.
-
Can another person redeem my valuable item for me?
Yes. Another person can redeem your valuable item if they present the pawn ticket. If you have lost your pawn ticket, please contact us immediately. We will block the pawn ticket. After that, only you can redeem the item on presentation of your ID.
