loan terms

Debt agreement details

Loan terms are the conditions governing a loan—interest rate, repayment schedule, duration, penalties, and collateral requirements.

Before signing, borrowers should understand all the loan terms.

The phrase also refers to the length of a loan: We're comparing loan terms of 15 versus 30 years.
