Prestiti.it

What Prestiti.it does

Prestiti.it is an Italian online loan comparison platform founded in 2008 and operated by Facile.it Mediazione Creditizia S.p.A., a credit intermediary regulated by Banca d'Italia and registered with the OAM (Organismo Agenti e Mediatori) under number M201. The platform serves Italian consumers comparing and requesting personal loans (up to €100,000), debt consolidation, home loans, auto loans, motorcycle loans, cessione del quinto (up to €75,000), quick loans, small loans (€500-€3,000), and business loans. Offerings are aggregated from 14+ partner banks and financial institutions including Agos, Findomestic, Cofidis, Compass, Younited Credit, IBL Banca, Pitagora, Banca Sella, Banca Ifis, Crediper, Bibanca, Creditis, ConTe, and BNL-BNP Paribas, with TAEG ranges between 6.69% and 15.37% depending on loan type and term.

The platform uses a proprietary comparison engine that pulls daily-updated conditions from partner institutions and returns personalized offers based on user-entered criteria (amount, duration, purpose). Distribution is purely digital and self-service: users land on purpose-specific pages via organic search, use a free loan calculator, request a personalized quote, and are forwarded to the chosen partner for final approval. The GTM is product-led with no field sales force. Monetization is via affiliate referral commissions from lenders when users submit loan requests; consumers pay no fees. More than 30,000 customers per month use the comparator, with an average user rating of 4.3 out of 5 based on 56-60 votes.

Prestiti.it operates as a single-country business within Gruppo Facile.it, a diversified Italian comparison platform group that also includes Assicurazione.it, Mutui.it, BolletteCasa.it, MiaCar.it, and ContiCarte.it. The group provides shared infrastructure, brand recognition, and cross-promotional traffic. Prestiti.it also publishes an editorial content library (Credito e Consumi blog, comprehensive guides, glossario) that drives long-tail SEO traffic and positions the site as an authority on Italian consumer credit.
