A loan shark is someone who tries to lend you money at very high rates of interest and they might threaten you.

 

​

​

If you get a loan from a bank or a loan shark, you will have to pay more money back than you borrowed.

 

This extra money is called ‘interest’.

​

But the interest you get charged from a loan shark is a LOT more than at the bank or post office.
