knæklån

Danish to English Bus/Financial Law: Taxation & Customs Skat legal guide
Hi, I'm looking for an English equivalent term for this type of loan. Maybe "snap loan" would work? It appears as follows.

Thanks for your help!

flexi-rate 'crunch' loan

I'm unsure a short-term, 'snap' cash loan or an elastic line of credit (with quick access to cash) in the USA and Canada is the same as a variable-vs. fixed rate loan.

Also different from an 'all monies' arrangement, namely one catching all borrowings from the same lender.
Example sentence:

Hvornår er der tale om knæklån? Knæklån er kendetegnet ved, at lånet er udstedt med forskellige rentesatser for adskilte perioder over lånets løbetid.

Snap Cash Loans are perfect for quick loans to help you get by until your next paycheck.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Christopher Schröder : Not the same thing

low/0% introductory rate loan

“An introductory rate loan generally offers a guaranteed low rate for an initial period of time (usually 12 months) after which most will revert to the standard variable rate. The rate can be fixed or variable.”

Or maybe just ‘introductory rate loan’.
