Best Answer

He is a moneylender. From the point of view of the Christian population, who expect people to lend money interest-free, he is a loanshark. From the modern perspective, he is a payday loan business. Since he does not hold people's money for them and pay them interest on their deposits, he's nothing like a bank.
