A moneylender is an individual or group who offers small personal loans at high rates of interest. This practice, also known as money lending, typically involves lending money to people who cannot obtain loans from formal financial institutions such as banks. Moneylenders can be legal and regulated entities or illegal and unregulated, sometimes associated with predatory lending practices or loan sharking.
