Detailed Review
Moneyhouse answers one question well: who is behind a Swiss company? Its home page describes Swiss commercial register and business information, with counters for active companies, board members, managing directors and new firms per day.
The imprint names Neue Zürcher Zeitung AG, Falkenstrasse 11, CH-8008 Zurich, UID CHE-106.838.812. The About page says Moneyhouse began in 2001 as Credita Management AG, has published register data online since 2004, and became part of the NZZ group in 2014.
Reports And Memberships
The menu separates credit report, payment behaviour, economic report, participations report and debt enforcement report. The membership page values a credit report at CHF 19.00 and says one is included in the Premium membership; further reports are sold singly or in packs of 10, 20, 40, 80, 250 or 500.
Premium also unlocks key figures and a graphical network view of companies and people.
Data Access For Teams
Beyond browsing, the site lists a Public API, corporate offers, company lists and purchasable addresses. Pricing for those was not visible in the pages reviewed.
Swiss Scope
Registers are cantonal, and the directory is organised by canton. A buyer tracing companies outside Switzerland will need a second provider.
Limitations to Consider
The review rests on the vendor's public pages, not a hands-on test. Coverage is Switzerland only, the Premium membership fee and API pricing were not seen, and Switzerland is outside the EU (adequacy decision applies). Hosting location is not stated.
Who Should Use Moneyhouse
Swiss SMEs, accountants and sales teams checking Swiss customers, suppliers and board members.
