From gold to technology

You can pawn these valuable items

To borrow money, you need a valuable item that is suitable as a pledge. The amount you receive for it depends on the item and its value.

  • Pawn gold

    Gold jewellery, coins and bars: material, purity and market value determine the loan value.

  • Pawn jewellery

    Rings, necklaces, bracelets and heirlooms, including those with diamonds.

  • Pawn watches

    For a watch, brand, model, design and condition all play a role.

  • Pawn technology

    Laptop, tablet, camera, games console: condition, age and demand are what count.

  • Pawn a mobile phone

    Even a used smartphone can still have a loan value. How high it is depends on the model, age and condition.

  • And much more

    Tools, musical instruments, antiques: just ask us at the branch.

Value is what counts

The value of your pledge determines the loan amount

How much money you can borrow depends on the value of your pledge. The interest and monthly costs also depend on the loan amount. That is why every item is examined and valued individually.

Which characteristics are important for the valuation differs from item to item. For a watch, for example, brand, model and condition play a role. This ensures the right expertise goes into the valuation.

Based on the valuation, you receive a specific offer. Only then do you decide whether to accept a loan and for what amount.

Clear terms

Borrow money at short notice on legally regulated terms

With a pawn loan, interest and monthly costs are regulated by law. You pay 1% interest per month on the loan amount. In addition, there are legally regulated monthly costs for the storage and insurance of your pledge.

The initial term is three months. If you want to redeem your pledge later, you can extend the loan. To do so, you pay the interest and monthly costs incurred up to that point.

This way, you can borrow money at short notice for a limited period and then get your valuable item back.

No bank, no SCHUFA

Borrow money easily without a bank

A pawn loan does not require a conventional bank loan. Your valuable item serves as security. That is why neither a SCHUFA check nor proof of income is required.

The loan amount depends on the value of your pledge. Your personal creditworthiness does not determine the loan amount. Once you have repaid the loan, you get your valuable item back.
