The Bank, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable account can be set with a foreign currency.
Instead of creating the foreign currency loan account as a Current Liability or a Term Liability type of account, which only can be set with a base currency, create it as a bank account type. Change the "Bank Account is" field under the Bank Setting tab of the Bank account to "Term Loan". Although, the "Term Loan" is a Bank account type, it will be shown under the Term Liabilities section of the Balance Sheet report.
