Quick checklist
  • I know the amount I need.
  • I can document my current situation.
  • I have read the information notices and conditions.
  • I understand that a simulation is indicative only.

The essentials before submitting an application

Prepare the right documents

Gather a valid ID, recent proof of address, income documents and, depending on the project, the elements requested by the lending partner.

  • Make sure documents are readable
  • Avoid incomplete information
  • Keep a reachable phone number and email address

Understand the simulation

A simulation provides an indicative preview of financing. It helps estimate instalments, duration or amount, but does not replace the file review.

  • Compare amount, duration and total cost
  • Read the conditions before validating
  • Do not confuse a simulation with a final approval

Keep the file consistent

The information you declare should stay consistent from one step to the next. A clear and complete application makes the review easier and limits follow-up requests.

  • Use the same contact details everywhere
  • Check the monthly budget you declare
  • Update your situation if needed

Protect your data

Before sharing personal information, make sure you are on the correct website, the connection is secure and the information notices are easy to access.

  • Padlock visible in the browser
  • HTTPS connection enabled
  • Legal notice and privacy policy available
