"Usury (/ˈjuːʒəri/)[1][2] is the practice of making unethical or immoral monetary loans that unfairly enrich the lender"

I'm not sure present interest rates around 0 - 3% really count. Of course you can get an iffy credit card with bad rates but that's your choice.

Any rate over 0% is immoral. This is how we have it in Islam. Loans are strictly an act of charity. Otherwise, there are moral and ethical ways to invest your money that are not predatory.
