Definition for Loan shark

A loan shark is an illegal lender who offers loans at exorbitant interest rates, often targeting vulnerable individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional banking services due to poor credit history or financial instability. These unscrupulous individuals or organizations typically employ intimidation tactics to enforce repayment, resorting to violence or threats when borrowers are unable to meet their payments.
