demand loan

 
Banking Dictionary: Demand Loan

Loan with no specific maturity date, but payable at any time. Only interest is paid until the principal is paid off, or until the lender demands repayment of principal. The borrower may, however, pay off the loan early, without incurring a prepayment penalty. If the funds are advanced to a broker, it is referred to as a call loan. See also Term Loan; Time Loan.
