Interest & fees

Allgemeine_FAQs

You can find a clear overview of our interest and fees in our fee schedule.

The costs for a pawn loan with CASHY consist of the issuance fee, the interest and the custody fee.

In the following example, we show you how high the fees for a pawn loan for a smartphone with a 30-day term are and how they are made up:

Loan amount: € 140,-
Issuance fee: € 5,-
Custody fee: € 4,-
Interest: € 4,90
Total fees: € 13,90

In another example, we show you how high the fees are for a pawn loan for a tablet with a term of 30 days and how they are made up:

Loan amount: € 1.000,-
Issuance fee: € 20,-
Custody fee: € 4,-
Interest: € 35,-
Total fees: € 59,-

You can find all further information about interest and fees at CASHY in our clear fee schedule.

If you extend your loan, you will have to pay the issuance fee, the custody fee and the interest.


Example:

Loan amount: € 140,-
Issuance fee: € 5,-
Custody fee: € 4,-
Interest: € 4,90
Total fees: € 13,90

If the value of your item has fallen sharply during the term of your pawn loan, you may have to make a partial repayment.

The reason for this is that you have deposited your collateral with CASHY as security. However, if this value decreases, e.g. because you have already extended it several times, your deposit is no longer sufficient as security.


Example:

Let's assume you take out a pawn loan of € 140 from CASHY. You have already extended it three times and the value of your device has fallen in the meantime. As a result, we can only offer you a pawn loan of € 120 for the following month.

In this case, you will have to make a partial repayment of € 20 and pay less fees afterwards:


Original loan amount: € 140,-

New loan amount: € 120,-
New issuance fee: € 5,-
New custody fee: € 4,-
New interest: € 4,20
Total fees: € 13,90

Partial repayment: € 20,-


You pay a total of € 33.90 for your extension.

You can have the cash for your item paid out up to a maximum of € 9,999 due to the Money Laundering Act. For higher payout amounts, the difference will be transferred to your account.

You have until the end of the grace period (4 weeks) to extend or repay your pawn loan.

General topics

Allgemeine_FAQs

A pawn loan is a form of short-term lending. As a rule, there is no credit check, as you are only liable for your loan with collateral. You deposit collateral (your pledge) as security at the pawnshop and receive a loan in return. The amount of the pawn loan is usually a partial value of your item.

This is how your pawn loan works at CASHY:

  1. Valuation:
    Enter your pawned item in the search window or select it from the categories. CASHY will show you an offer including fee information for many items straight away. For individual requests, you will normally receive your offer within one working day. The amount paid out depends on the partial value of your item.

  2. Deposit item:
    You hand over your item to CASHY. It will be stored there in the insured warehouse for the duration of the term until you retrieve it.

  3. Interest and fees:
    The interest and fees for your pawn loan are calculated per half month. If you redeem your item earlier, you only ever pay the current fees up to the due date.

  4. Repayment period:
    You can extend, reduce or repay your pawn loan at any time. After the fixed term, you also have the option of repaying or extending your pawn loan during a grace period. This may incur additional fees.

  5. Returning the pawn:
    As soon as you have repaid your pawn loan in full, including interest and fees, you will receive your pawned item back.

  6. Keep the money:
    You also have the option of simply keeping the money you have borrowed. In this case, your item will be auctioned off and you will be debt-free in any case. If the auction results in a higher amount, minus fees, than the amount you borrowed from CASHY, you will be paid out the surplus.

CASHY accepts collateral such as electronics, jewelry, luxury watches, designer bags and many more.

With a pawn loan from CASHY, you remain debt-free. The reason for this is that the amount paid out on your pawn loan is based purely on the value of your item. The loan amount is therefore fully covered. The pawn shop never has recourse to other collateral or assets. The amount paid out is secured purely by your pledged item.

Decide at the end of the term whether you want to conveniently extend your loan online or repay it. Of course, you can also simply leave your item to us and keep the money. In this case, your item will be auctioned off. If there is a surplus - i.e. we take in more than we have paid out to you - you will receive a share of this profit. The surplus, minus fees, will be paid out to you in full.

As a holder of the WKO seal of approval, CASHY is a reputable pawn shop.

CASHY displays your loan offer online and you can view your fees around the clock in your account area during the term. You can also conveniently process your pawn loan via your cell phone.

In an independent study, CASHY impressed not only with the best price-performance ratio but also with its high level of transparency and unbureaucratic online processing with estimated values of items and fees in real time.

Our customer service is always available for you during service hours.

If you want to return your pledged item to one of our stores you will receive your money on the same day. We can pay out your money up to € 9,999 in cash. Higher amounts or the difference will be transferred to you via PayPal or to your bank account. If you opt for a bank transfer, it can take up to 2 working days for the money to reach your account, depending on the bank.

To save even more time, you can already order your deal for electronic items online at cashy.at to request your deal. There you can immediately see how much money you can get for many items. Your item will only be checked briefly in the store before it is paid out.

You can have the money for your item paid out in cash or as a transfer to your PayPal or bank account.

Please note that a cash payout of up to a maximum of € 9,999 is possible in every branch due to the Money Laundering Act. For higher payout amounts, the difference will be transferred to your account immediately.

You can find all further information about your payment options here.

The costs for a pawn loan with CASHY are made up of the issuance fee, interest (1.75% per half month) and the custody fee. In the following example, we show you how high the fees for a pawn loan for a smartphone with a 30-day term are and how they are made up:

Loan amount: € 140,-

We will send you an address label for shipping your parcel by email.

The shipping company is liable for a maximum of € 520 if your collateral is damaged during transport. To ensure that you are always on the safe side, you should make sure to pack your collateral carefully or bring it directly to our store yourself. Please contact us if you would like to insure your collateral.

We keep your collateral safe for you in our video-monitored storage facility during the term of the loan.

Please note: Your collateral is also insured for 1.5 times its value while it is stored by us.

The term of a pawn loan is 1-3 months. You also have the option of extending your loan or repaying it earlier at any time.

After the expiry of your pawn loan and a 4-week grace period, your collateral will be auctioned off. We will remind you of the deadline in good time before your item is auctioned off. If the proceeds from the auction are higher than your outstanding loan amount, you will be paid out the surplus less fees. However, if the proceeds from the sale are lower than the outstanding amount, you are no longer liable to pay. This means there is no additional risk for you and you remain debt-free.

If your pawn loan is extended, a small partial amount may be charged. This is made up of the interest and fees that have accrued up to the date of the extension. You can also check your fees online at any time in your account area and get a precise overview of these values here.

If the value of your collateral has fallen sharply during the pawn loan term, we must ask you to make a corresponding partial repayment.

Pawning gold

Allgemeine_FAQs

You can pawn a variety of different pieces of jewelry at CASHY:

  • Gold rings

  • Gold chains and gold pendants.

  • Gold bracelets

  • Gold earrings

  • Gold watches

This is how we determine the precious metal content:

  • Stamp of fineness: We check the stamp on your piece of jewelry

  • Acid test: We carry out an acid test to determine the gold content of your piece of jewelry.

  • Magnetic balance: The attraction or repulsion confirms or refutes the authenticity of the gold.

Important: For single items with a payout amount of € 2,000 or more, or for multiple items with a payout amount of € 5,000 or more, an additional external check is carried out, which may take longer.

The condition plays a secondary role at CASHY. The amount paid out depends primarily on the weight and number of carats of your piece of jewelry.

Gemstones can reduce the possible payout amount, as they are deducted from the gold weight of your piece of jewelry. As gemstones cannot be verified by us on site, the possible value has no influence on the deposit credit amount offered.

The following steps are important when shipping your jewelry:

  • Secure packaging: Use a sturdy box.

  • Insurance: Contact us for additional insurance for higher-priced gold jewelry.

Yes, this is possible with CASHY. If it is genuine gold jewelry, any damage is irrelevant to the amount paid out. However, if it is a gold watch, the condition plays a decisive role in the amount of your pawn loan.

Your jewelry will be stored securely at CASHY for the duration of your pawn loan:

  • Secure safes: We store your gold jewelry in highly secure safes that protect against theft and damage.

  • Surveillance: Our warehouse is under video surveillance around the clock.

  • Insurance: Your jewelry is insured for 1.5 times its value while it is stored with us.

Pawn watches

Allgemeine_FAQs

You can pawn luxury watches from the following brands at CASHY:

  • Rolex

  • Breitling

  • Patek Philipp

  • Piaget

  • Audemars Piquet

  • Panerai

  • Cartier

  • A. Lange & Söhne

  • Union Glassworks

  • Zenith

  • Omega

  • IWC

  • Jaeger LeCoultre

  • Glassworks

  • Breguet

At CASHY, you can not only pawn luxury watches from the brands listed, but also your smartwatch.

Yes, this is possible with CASHY. In a commission sale with advance payment, you hand over your watch to us to sell on your behalf. We will pay out a portion (50%) of the expected sales proceeds to you immediately. The remaining payment, minus our fees, will be made after a successful sale. Advance payment means that you receive your money before the actual sale of your luxury watch.


This is how it works:

  1. You send us all the details about your luxury watch or bring it directly to one of our CASHY branches.

  2. We evaluate your watch and estimate how much it can fetch on the market.

  3. We will make you an offer for the estimated value of your watch, tell you the amount of the commission fee (17%) and the possible advance payment (50% of the estimated selling price).

  4. If you accept the offer, you will usually get your money paid out within one working day (depending on the bank).

  5. As soon as we have sold your luxury watch for you, you will be paid out the remaining sales proceeds minus our commission fee.


Example:

You bring us a Rolex that you would like to sell on commission with an advance payment.

  • We estimate the value of your watch at € 20,000.

  • You will receive an advance of € 10,000 from us.

  • The watch is actually being sold for € 20,000.

  • You will receive € 6,600 less 17% commission (€ 3,400) from us after the sale.

  • If we achieve a higher price and are able to sell the watch for € 25,000, for example, you will receive a residual payment of € 10,750. You therefore always have the option of getting more for your watch than originally assumed, despite paying commission.


Advantages:

  • You are immediately liquid as you receive part of the money straight away. You don't have to wait until a buyer has been found.

  • We have experience in selling watches and may therefore be able to achieve a higher price.

  • You don't have to take care of the sale yourself.


If you need money urgently, a commission sale with advance payment is a good option for you. You can still get a fair price for your luxury watch because you don't have to sell it immediately. This allows you to combine the possibility of quick financing with a serious and professional sale.

Various factors are assessed when evaluating your luxury watch:

  • Brand and model: Manufacturer and specific model of the watch

  • Condition: Exterior and interior condition of the watch, including scratches, wear and functionality.

  • Materials: Materials used

  • Age and rarity: Year of production and rarity of the model

  • Original parts and documentation: Original parts, box and papers.

If you want to pawn your watch with CASHY, you will need an official photo ID and proof of purchase confirming that the watch belongs to you. Certificates, original boxes and papers are taken into account when calculating the payout amount.

No, unfortunately this is not possible with CASHY. Your watch will be kept safe for the duration of your contract.

You can rest assured that your watch will be safely stored at CASHY for the duration of your pawn loan:

  • Secure safes: Luxury watches are stored in our theft- and fire-proof safes.

  • Surveillance: Our warehouse is under video surveillance around the clock.

  • Insurance: Your watch is insured for 1.5 times its current value during the term.

Unfortunately, this is not possible with CASHY. We only grant pawn loans for watches that are in working order. A commission sale with advance payment is also only possible for functioning luxury watches.

The custody fee for storing your watch is € 2.00 per month.

Yes, this is possible with CASHY. If you would like to sell your watch on commission with an advance, we will pay out up to 50% of the expected sales proceeds. You will receive the remaining amount less our commission immediately after the sale.

If you do not want to extend, reduce or repay your pawn loan, you can simply keep the money. Your watch will be auctioned after a grace period and the surplus will be paid out to you minus our fees, if applicable.

  • Brand and model

  • Condition

  • Materials

  • Age and rarity

  • Hardware: Zippers, buckles and other metal parts are checked for functionality.

In order to be able to pawn your designer bag, we need an official photo ID from you.

Original packaging and an accompanying dust bag can increase the possible payout amount of your designer bag.

Unfortunately, this is not possible with CASHY. You use your designer bag as collateral for your pawn loan. It will be stored safely and carefully in our video-monitored warehouse. It is also insured for 1.5 times its current value.

At CASHY, the costs for the pawn loan for your designer bag are made up of the issuance fee, the interest, the custody fee and the authenticity check.

Loan amount: € 1.200,-
Issuance fee: € 20,-
Custody fee: € 4,-
Interest: € 42,-
Authentication: € 18,-
Total fees: € 84,-


If the bag turns out to be counterfeit or if you only need a certificate of authenticity from us, you will be charged € 30,- for the authenticity check.

If you visit one of our CASHY stores directly, you can leave your bag with us and will be offered a possible payout amount just a little later.


If you agree, your designer bag will be checked for authenticity. After a successful check, your money will be paid out to you in cash the next working day in the store. If you prefer a bank transfer, you will usually receive your money in your account 2 working days after we have made you an offer.


Please note: If you send us your bag, we can only check it once we have received it. It will therefore take 1-2 working days longer to pay out your pawn loan than if you hand it over in the store.

With designer bags, you can choose whether you want to take out your pawn loan for 30, 60 or 90 days. The issuance fee is only due once for longer terms.

Once you have repaid your pawn loan including fees to us, you will get your bag back. You can also extend your pawn loan at any time or pay it back in parts.

Yes, that is possible. We offer you the greatest flexibility thanks to our daily billing. You can of course retrieve your bag before the end of the term and only pay the interest and fees up to the respective due date.
