Entrusted Loan
A loan with lots of jewels, or sometimes a nice coating of pralines for that subtle extra burst of flavor.
Wait...that’s encrusted loans.
An entrusted loan involves a bank acting as an intermediary for a loan rather than the source of the funds. Some other entity (another company, a government, a non-profit, a rich benefactor) provides the money. The bank just facilitates the transaction.
You own a chain of laundromats/video arcades. You need a loan and convince your brother in law to give it to you. Rather than having him give you a pillowcase full of cash (which was his initial suggestion), you want to go through a bank. So you set up an entrusted loan.
The bank acts as a go-between, handling the paperwork and other details. But the money comes from your brother-in-law. The bank is considered the trustee for the deal, while your brother-in-law would be called the trustor.
Entrusted loans go through a similar process as regular bank loans in terms of the paperwork, but the bank doesn't apply any of its normal credit checks or risk controls. The risk of default falls on the party providing the funds for the loan. If you default, your brother in law is the one who loses out...the bank is off the hook.

commercials you're seeing out there a payday loan is a loan using the promise
of delivery of cash on your payday cheque as collateral and for most
companies loaning money on payday this is an extremely profitable business
because they quote only charge you 2% unquote for the loan but let's do the
math you're getting the cash two weeks early and last time we looked at a
calendar there were 52 weeks in a year or 26 bimonthly pay periods so if
they're charging you 2% to lend you money for one of those bimonthly pay
periods well their annualized rate that they're charging you for lending you
that money well that's 52 percent a year right 26 times 2% it's 52 percent a year
even the worst credit cards charge dramatically less than this rate of
interest so how do payday loan places get away with such high rent on your
hard-earned money well if you have to borrow money in this form with such
urgency well you're likely a very bad credit [woman sends man out to pay grandma]

certain because if you did do the math you get even an expensive credit card to
float you the thousand bucks or whatever your paycheck was or five hundred
dollars for that half month period to just get by until the next month right
