Extortionate money-lender (6)

I believe the answer is:

usurer

(Other definitions for usurer that I've seen before include "One who exacts much interest on loans." , "Moneylender who charges very high interest" , "Grasping money lender" , "One takes interest" , "Lender at an exorbitant rate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
