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
