Rental deposit guarantee without bank deposit from SwissCaution
More scope for you and your money
Important information
Will you soon be moving house? This is the opportunity to subscribe a rental deposit guarantee from SwissCaution. This prevents your money from being blocked in a bank deposit for several months.
If you already have a security deposit lodged with a bank, you can always switch to a SwissCaution rental deposit guarantee. This will enable you to recover the money you deposited with the bank.
The SwissCaution rental deposit guarantee is similar to a conventional bank deposit in terms of security, value and purpose.
