Teaser rate

A teaser rate is a low, adjustable introductory interest rate advertised for a loan or credit card in order to attract potential customers to obtain the service. The teaser rates are normally too good to be true for the long term, and are far below the common realistic rate for the service. In a competitive market, many companies will compete with each other for the lower teaser rate. Typically, the teaser rate is 0%.
