    A term loan
    Well thats just the lenght of time you took out for the loan
    Any loan is a term loan i.e. 1 year to ....

    As person when they took it out
    How long was it for
    When they starting paying loan etc

    I think he means when did the banks start offering term loans.

    Pretty much since Banking began, they are the basic core product that created banks in the first place.

    I asked my folks and they advised that they were definitely around back in the early 70's. Don't know if this is any use to you. I would suggest that you ask the Irish Bankers Federation for a definitive answer.

    They would have been around in the 1770's as well.
