Investopedia explains 'Lender'

A lender provides cash or credit to a borrower that needs to be repaid either in increments (as in a monthly mortgage payment) or as a lump sum (as in a promotional "buy now pay later" arrangement). The terms of the loan will specify how the loan is to be satisfied, over what period of time, and state the consequences of default.
