What is Usury?

Usury refers to the practice of charging excessive interest rates on loans. Usury laws set limits on the amount of interest that can be charged on a loan and are in place to protect borrowers from predatory lending practices. The definition of usury can vary depending on the jurisdiction, but generally, it is considered to be an illegal and unethical practice.
