usury
Definition
Usury sometimes has more than one meaning. In biblical English it often means simply charging interest on a loan. At other times it implies an unduly high rate of interest.

There is no clear restriction against charges for loans to others. Jesus gives some credence to interest charges in Matt. Latter-day revelation does not contain restrictions against interest charges.
