SCHUFA Credit Compass: Facts and Figures on Consumer Loans in Germany

Since 2003, on the basis of its anonymous database, SCHUFA has published scientifically-supported analyses on consumer loans in Germany. Numerous studies have also been commissioned and their results published. With the SCHUFA Credit Compass, we hope to continue making a significant contribution to public discourse on financial culture, consumer competence and over-indebtedness research in Germany.
