What does an introductory rate mean?
An introductory rate is a promotional interest rate that lenders use to attract new customers. It is sometimes referred to as a ‘honeymoon rate’. An introductory rate is only for a limited period of time, typically 12 months, after which the interest rate on the loan typically rises and reverts to the lender’s standard variable interest rate.
