Removing stress

Crédit Logement’s goal is to give as many people as possible the chance to own their home using our guarantee solution, which is based on the principle of pooling borrower risks.

Finding the best solution

Acting in all parties’ interests by limiting payment defaults and taking steps to enable repayments to resume and give banks and borrowers peace of mind.

A clear and efficient process

A highly automated approval process involving detailed analysis of borrowers’ ability to repay loans.

Expert teams

Banking partners can rely on Crédit Logement’s expert risk analysis teams. The decision to provide a guarantee is based on a set of criteria and human analysis designed to ensure that the borrower is solvent and able to repay on time.

That is why we place emphasis on responsibility, sensitivity and clearly explaining every step of the borrowing process.

By providing a second opinion on a loan application, we give banks peace of mind and lend weight to their own analysis of financing applications.
