DKB Ratenkredit Reviewed
The DKB Ratenkredit is an online consumer loan from Deutsche Kreditbank for private individuals, with free use of funds. A notable feature compared with many other providers: the interest rate is independent of creditworthiness, meaning every approved customer receives the same rate regardless of their individual Schufa score.
Interest and Costs
The effective annual percentage rate (APR) starts at 6.79% (nominal rate from 6.59% p.a.), with the "Sofort" (instant) variant additionally advertised with a 0.3 percentage point bonus. Since the rate is independent of creditworthiness, there is no usual rate range based on credit score. Loan amounts up to €100,000 can be financed; the bank's representative example cites a loan amount of €15,000. No minimum loan amount is explicitly stated on the offer page.
Terms and Requirements
The term can be chosen between 12 and 120 months. No separate processing fee is mentioned. According to the provider, additional repayments are possible free of charge at any time, with no early repayment penalty. The faster "Sofort" variant requires a digital account check, where the salary account is linked via online banking access; for the "Klassisch" (classic) variant, the corresponding proof must instead be submitted as documents. The bank does not state a specific minimum income on this page.
Pros and Cons
- Rate independent of creditworthiness - no uncertainty about your rate tier
- Free additional repayment possible at any time, no early repayment penalty
- Flexible term from 12 to 120 months
- Loan amounts up to €100,000 available
- Fast "Sofort" variant via digital account check
- Effective APR from 6.79% is notably higher than the entry rate of many competitors with creditworthiness-based pricing
- No minimum loan amount stated on the offer page
- No specific minimum income stated
Verdict
The DKB Ratenkredit is best suited for customers who value planning certainty and don't want to gamble on a potentially better but uncertain credit-score-based rate: the rate from 6.79% APR applies regardless of individual creditworthiness. Customers with very good creditworthiness may find a cheaper rate with other providers that price based on credit score.
