pawner

Collateral loan seeker

A pawner is someone who pawns something—who leaves an item with a pawnbroker as security for a loan.

The word is straightforward but uncommon; most people say "someone who pawned" rather than reach for the agent noun: The pawner had thirty days to reclaim the watch.
