USERY Meaning and Definition

1. Usery is a noun that refers to the act or practice of charging excessive interest rates on loans, often considered exploitative and unfair. Also known as usurious practices, usury involves lending money at an interest rate that is significantly higher than what is considered reasonable or lawful. This term has its roots in medieval Europe, where the charging of interest on loans was strictly prohibited by religious laws in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Usury was widely condemned as morally reprehensible, as it was viewed as taking advantage of the borrower's financial vulnerability.

   In modern times, laws and regulations relating to usury vary across jurisdictions. While there are legal limitations on interest rates in most countries to protect borrowers from exploitative lending practices, the thresholds differ. Usury often targets individuals or businesses with limited access to credit options due to their poor credit history, low income, or lack of collateral.

   The term "usury" is widely associated with unethical practices that prioritize profit over the welfare of borrowers. It is often viewed as a form of financial exploitation, leading to cycles of debt and financial instability for individuals or businesses unable to repay loans with exorbitant interest rates. Governments and consumer protection organizations work towards preventing and regulating usurious practices to ensure fair treatment and financial well-being for borrowers.
