Original Note:
The Bible doesn’t explicitly ban interest, it only advises against charging it to the poor and to community members (Exodus 22:25, Deuteronomy 23:19). Modern Christians, including Protestants and Catholics, generally accept charging interest if rates are not exploitative. https://www.bibleref.com/Exodus/22/Exodus-22-25.html
