money lending
Creditor's core business
Money lending is the practice of loaning money to borrowers who agree to repay it, typically with interest.
A money lender may be an individual, a business, or a financial institution such as a bank.
The term often carries connotations of informal or sometimes predatory lending practices, as distinguished from regulated banking: He got caught up with some shady money lending operation.
Also spelled as one word: moneylending.
