Money House

What Money House does

Moneyhouse is a Swiss commercial register and economic information platform operated as a subsidiary of Neue Zürcher Zeitung AG and headquartered under the NZZ umbrella in Zurich. The company has operated since 2001 and maintains a web-based database covering all 26 Swiss cantons, providing structured information on companies and persons registered in the Swiss Handelsregister, including management data, capital, shareholder information, brand entries, and corporate structure. Its core technology is a web-accessible business registry database paired with a Public API for programmatic access by developers and enterprise customers.

The product portfolio spans free and premium memberships, a suite of individual business reports (credit rating, payment behavior, economic information, shareholder information, debt collection proceedings), online Commercial Register workflow tools for company formation and modification, address and company-list data products, a Public API, and content/news sub-brands (KMU+ and Regio-News). The platform serves Swiss small and medium-sized enterprises, business professionals conducting due diligence or partner monitoring, and financial services firms using the credit and payment datasets for risk decisions.

Moneyhouse monetizes through a freemium model: a free limited tier (two monitored entities, two PDF dossiers, basic registry fields) and a premium tier starting at CHF 79.00 per month offering unlimited monitoring, credit reports, network visualization, and full search. Revenue is further diversified through enterprise Corporate Solutions, Public API subscriptions, and the sale of business addresses and curated company lists. Distribution is digital and self-serve via moneyhouse.ch, with a parallel enterprise and developer channel through the Public API, and an embedded distribution advantage from the NZZ media ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Creditsafe: International business credit bureau issuing company credit reports with traffic-light scoring on 400M+ companies, similar in product mix and API-led distribution. Comparable as a credit-rating and business-information provider, though with global rather than Switzerland-only coverage.
• Bureau van Dijk (Moody's): Global corporate business information provider (now part of Moody's Analytics) offering company records, ownership structures, and credit/PEP data via a web platform and APIs. Closest functional analogue to Moneyhouse but operating globally and at much larger scale.
• North Data: German company-information platform aggregating Handelsregister, financial reports, and beneficial-owner relationships into visual relationship graphs. A near-functional peer to Moneyhouse's network-visualization feature in a different national registry footprint (Germany).
• Bisnode (now part of D&B): European business information provider (now within Dun & Bradstreet) selling company data, credit decisions, and marketing data across the Nordics, DACH, and CEE. Closely comparable in product breadth (company records, credit, marketing data) before its integration into D&B.
• Companyweb: Belgian business information provider offering company data, credit scores, and financial reports on Belgian entities via web and API. Operates the same Switzerland-style national registry-plus-credit product concept within Belgium.

Emerging players

• Schober Group (B2B data): European B2B marketing data and address provider selling company lists and contact data. Partial overlap with Moneyhouse's address-purchase and company-lists revenue streams, focused more on sales/marketing than credit decisioning.

Broad incumbents

• Dun & Bradstreet: The largest global business information provider, offering company data, credit reports, and analytics used by enterprises and banks. Overlaps heavily with Moneyhouse's product categories but operates at much greater scale and breadth, serving multinationals rather than purely Swiss SMEs.
• CRIF: Italian-headquartered credit information and business information group with credit bureau operations across Europe and a strong SME-credit focus. Comparable through its B2B credit-reports, registry data, and analytics offerings, though at a multi-country scale.

Regional players

• Swiss Credit Forum / local.ch business directory: Swiss local search and business directory platform providing company listings and contact details on Swiss entities. Adjacent in serving Swiss business-lookup use cases but lacks the credit-rating, payment-behavior, and shareholder products that define Moneyhouse.

Others

• Zefix (Federal Commercial Registry): Official Swiss federal portal for entries in the Handelsregister, operated by the Federal Office of Justice. Functions as an upstream data source for Moneyhouse and as a free public alternative for basic lookups — neither a competitor for enriched credit/network data nor a commercial substitute, but a structural reference.
