current account mortgage
Explanation:
Thanks to Richard's answer, I've found this at the link below, describing a form of an offset mortgage that closely matches the Danish scheme:

"Some lenders have a single account for all transactions, this is often referred to as a current account mortgage."

Although "current account mortgage" might seem to refer only to the loan itself, perhaps it can be worked into your context somehow?

cooperative housaing mortgage loan


Explanation:
See "Lån til andelsboligen med FinansNetbanken. Vi har et af markedets billigste andelsboliglån, hvor du kun betaler rente af det beløb, du har trukket.


AndelsPrioritet er et billigt lån
En AndelsPrioritet er en kredit med pant i andelsboligen. Det vil sige, at løn med videre kan indgå på kontoen, og der kan tilknyttes betalingskort til kontoen. Der betales kun renter af det beløb, som er trukket på kontoen, så du kan med fordel indsætte, for eksempel, din opsparing og dermed betale renter af et mindre beløb.



Lad din løn gå ind på kontoen og spar penge
Benyt din AndelsPrioritet som lønkonto og få et gratis Visa/Dankort og muligheden for et MasterCard. Derudover får du rabat på oprettelsesgebyrerne til FinansNetbanken, når du opretter billån, andels- og boliglån."

disagree  Charles Ek: See the discussion above, which already includes the same link you posted. What's at issue here is not the loan (more like a line of credit) itself, but rather an account into which the borrower can also make deposits of salary, savings, etc.

Offset mortgage account


Explanation:
In the UK banking sector, a number of lenders offer 'offset mortgages'. In such instances, the customer holds a mortgage, and a savings and/or current account. The amounts in their savings and current account are offset against the mortgage, thus effectively reducing the loan amount, without making any formal payment towards the mortgage. The customer is then free to withdraw the money from their savings or current account and the loan amount then increases accordingly, but never more than the original agreed loan amount.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Richard, The account in question is not two different accounts but one, although the principle you describe seem to be close to the Danish account. Thanks for your input. This type of translation is always difficult due to the different systems in US/DK/UK!

agree  Charles Ek: This is very close. I haven't found a U.S. analogue yet.

agree  David Young (X): Lots of hits for this on uk.yahoo. See below. I don't think the "andels" bit is important because the Danish system doesn't exist in the UK. You could add "cooperative housing" at the front. http://www.money.co.uk/mortgages/current-account-mortgages.h...
