Secured loan without interest outside bank (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

borrowed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'secured loan' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with ownership as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'without interest outside bank' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'bank' could be 'row' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'row' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bored' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for borrowed that I've seen before include "Took temporarily" , "Procured on loan" , "Bored row (anag.)" , "Took a loan" , "Undue extension of life" .)
