High-interest lender (6)

I believe the answer is:

usurer

(Other definitions for usurer that I've seen before include "Moneylender who charges very high interest" , "Unscrupulous moneylender" , "Person taking a lot of interest" , "Shylock, say" , "Extortionate lender of money" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
