About the Team
The Kredite Schweiz team is small and personal. In addition to the founder, Simon Niklaus, 3 other experts work for Kredite Schweiz: Michael Schmied, Lea Widmer, and Camila Gonzalez.
About the Founder
Simon Niklaus is the founder and editor of Kredite Schweiz. As a finance enthusiast and part-time business administration student, he writes the majority of our blog articles and never lets an article get published without personally reading and editing it.
To contact him, message simon@krediteschweiz.ch.
Simon is the middle of three sons. Growing up in a single-parent household with no financial support from the state, the topics of money and finances were important to him from an early age.
During his apprenticeship, he devoted himself to the topics of saving and investing and gained his first experience. From dozens of books he read, he learned, among other things, that wealthy people not only invest skillfully but also have a solid income.
This was one of the main reasons he decided to pursue a vocational baccalaureate. He then passed the Passerell exam and went to the University of Zurich to study business.
Simon knows about finance. He has experienced what it means to have to watch every centime, and he knows every little everyday savings tip that can be found in Switzerland. But he now also knows the other side, where thoughts of money are associated with fulfilled wishes instead of existential worries.
His vision is to help people with their finances. He believes everyone deserves the chance to realize their desires.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor; there are always tips and tricks to improve your finances. For the wealthier, it’s usually more about investing and new business opportunities, while for people with lower incomes, it’s more about simple ways to save and financial optimization.”
As a teenager, he discovered a passion for fitness and martial arts. The two sports have shaped his life, as they taught him discipline, perseverance, and respect for his fellow man. These qualities also helped him in 2019 during his recruit school with the Military Police Grenadiers, where he made many contacts with highly ambitious peers. It was through one of these contacts that he met co-founder Michael, with whom he teamed up to found Kredite Schweiz.
