One who lends money at an exorbitant interest rate (6)

I believe the answer is:

usurer

(Other definitions for usurer that I've seen before include "loan-shark" , "One lending money at unreasonable rates" , "Extortionist" , "Iniquitous moneylender" , "Moneylender who charges excessive rates of interest" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
