Introductory loan
The interest rate is usually low to attract borrowers. Also known as a honeymoon loan, this rate generally lasts only for a few years before it rises. Rates can be fixed or capped. Most revert to the standard rates.
Pros:
- Usually the lowest available rates
- When payments are made at the introductory rate, the principal can be reduced quickly
- Some lenders provide an offset account against these loans
Cons:
- Payments usually increase after the introductory period
