Questions about credit alternatives
Many people have a short-term financial squeeze or a bottleneck and depend on financing. Normally, everyone would go to their local bank first. However, if a loan from the local bank is not an option, you have to look for a sensible and reputable alternative to a classic bank loan.
Because if you want to get cash safely without proof of income and without a KSV check, your local bank usually quickly ends the conversation about a loan. If you are young and have no income, you are almost always dependent on an alternative to a bank loan. Read here to find out what options are available.
What is a pawn loan?
You can get a pawn loan from a pawnbroker by giving them an item of value as collateral. The pawned item you hand over is the security you leave with the pawnbroker. In contrast to a classic loan from a bank, there is no personal liability beyond the value of the pawned item. Likewise, there is no need to apply for a loan or check your creditworthiness and income.
At Pfando, you get a pawn loan for your vehicle after a successful inspection and can then continue driving it.

Is a pawn loan an alternative to a loan without KSV?
Since the value of the pawned item is the only thing that matters when granting the pawn loan, the pawn loan can rightly be described as an alternative to a loan without KSV. This is because the pawnbroker only needs your details from your identity card, passport or registration certificate and the pawned item to be able to give you a pawn loan.
The pawn loan from Pfando offers you a reputable and reliable way to bridge a financial bottleneck without a KSV check.

Is a pawn loan an alternative to a loan without proof of income?
The pawnbroker is legally obliged to record the pawner's personal details. However, they are not obliged to check income circumstances. Therefore, a pawn loan is definitely an alternative to a loan without proof of income.
Are you currently unable to get a loan without proof of income or without a job, or a loan during your probationary period? No problem – with Pfando you can get cash for your car within 60 minutes.

Where can I get a loan quickly?
Many loan portals offer fast loans, but you have to provide collateral and complete an identification procedure. Without proof of income or without permanent employment, the chances of getting a loan from a bank or other financial institutions are not very good.
With a pawn loan from a pawnbroker's shop, pawnshop, or car pawnshop, you usually don't have to wait long. If you and the pawnbroker agree on the terms of the pawn loan, the money will be paid out to you on the spot – without personal liability beyond the value of the pawned item.

What is a bridging loan?
Banks usually grant a bridging loan when a borrower has a short-term financing need.
Classic bridging loans are available when a property is to be financed, but, for example, the building society contract or life insurance is not yet ready for allocation.
In the area of consumer loans, bridging loans are primarily disbursed in smaller volumes. Here, the bridging loan usually serves to finance the purchase of a product without having to use the overdraft facility on one's own account. The terms range between 24 and 120 months.
To apply for a bridging loan, you usually need a positive KSV score, proof of income, and an account to which the loan amount can be transferred.
If you have a poor KSV score, then a pawn loan is a sensible loan alternative. Here you get cash for a valuable item you own. You are not liable beyond the value of the pawned item, but you still have the option of flexibly bridging a financial bottleneck.
Pfando helps car owners with financial difficulties to quickly regain their solvency and continue using their vehicle as usual.

What is an instant loan?
An instant loan is characterized by the fact that it is usually approved within 24 hours and the payment is made directly to the applicant's account.
As with any other loan, you must provide information about your income situation. After your documents have been checked, which usually takes 24 hours, the loan amount will be paid into your account. Depending on the bank, this can take several more days.
As an alternative to an instant loan from your bank, you can also take out a pawn loan from a pawnbroker's shop. You simply bring your valuable item to the pawnbroker and turn it into cash there. If you only have a short-term financial bottleneck, then the pawn loan will get you cash quickly and easily without a classic loan obligation.
For car owners, a pawn loan from Pfando offers the opportunity to take cash immediately after successful vehicle inspection.

How do I get a loan without income?
Without an income or collateral that you can offer the bank, you will not get a classic loan. This is because the bank wants to ensure that you can actually make the repayments, i.e. the repayment of the loan. Without an income, most banks assume that you cannot do this.
As a loan alternative, you can still get cash with a pawn loan. With a pawn loan, the valuable item, i.e. the pawn, is the security for the pawnbroker. The amount of the pawn loan depends on the value of your pawned item. No additional collateral or debt is required for a pawn loan.
At Pfando, after a successful inspection of your vehicle, you will receive cash as a pawn loan in 60 minutes and can continue to use your car.

How do I get a loan despite a negative KSV score?
If you have a negative KSV score, most banks are reluctant to grant you a loan. This is because your financial history leads even your own bank to conclude that you may not be able to repay the new loan. Then you should look around for a suitable loan alternative.
For people with a negative credit bureau (KSV) entry, a pawn loan can be a good alternative. Here, your financial history is not scrutinized; instead, the valuable item you want to pawn at the pawnshop and thus turn into cash is assessed. The more valuable your item is, the higher the pawn loan will be. The pawn loan is paid out to you immediately as cash, making it an ideal loan alternative with good conditions, where you do not have to incur debt (beyond the pawned item).
Car owners have found the perfect alternative to regular loans with Pfando – even with a negative KSV score. With a pawn loan from Pfando, you receive immediate cash and can continue driving the car.

Can I get a loan if I am unemployed?
A classic loan requires regular repayment of the loan. If you cannot guarantee repayment of the loan through regular income payments, a bank will probably not grant a loan if you are unemployed.
However, if you have a valuable item that you can pawn, you can take out a pawn loan in a pawnshop or a car pawnshop as a loan alternative. This will be paid out to you as immediate cash.
A pawn loan has the advantage that, on the one hand, you are not liable beyond the value of the pawned item, and on the other hand, you do not have to repay a certain amount monthly. You simply pay back the full loan amount plus fees and interest at the end of the pawn loan term. Especially for self-employed people and freelancers, who face particular hurdles when they want to take out a loan, a pawn loan is a suitable alternative to other loans.
Tip for vehicle owners: With the car pawn loan from Pfando as an alternative to bank loans, only the value of the vehicle is decisive – you do not have to provide any (additional) collateral, proof of income or other income. Even your creditworthiness or your KSV score are not relevant to us.
