Ancillary payment

For services that are linked to negotiating the consumer credit agreement or providing a demonstrable referral of the opportunity to conclude a consumer credit agreement, the credit intermediary may not agree any payment except for remuneration in accordance with section 655c sentence 1 and except for the fee that may have been agreed for advisory services. However, it may be agreed that the credit intermediary be reimbursed for the necessary expenditures that were incurred. This right may not exceed the amount or the maximum amounts of which the credit intermediary has notified the consumer under Article 247 section 13 (2) sentence 1 no. 4 of the Introductory Act to the Civil Code (Einführungsgesetz zum Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuche).
