Chapter 4 in The European Framework of Credit Intermediaries, 2026, pp 37-42 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter analyzes the German system of credit intermediation, focusing on the legal framework, licensing requirements, and supervisory structures. In Germany, credit intermediaries are supervised by Trade Supervisory Authorities at the federal state level (Bundesländer). The chapter outlines the obligations of intermediaries operating in the German credit market, including competence, transparency, and other criteria. It highlights Germany’s approach to licensing, which distinguishes between consumer and mortgage credit intermediation.
