insider (noun, in-sid-er, \ ɪnˈsaɪdər \) lending (noun, lend-ing, \ ˈlendɪŋ \)
Definition: is a process of loan advancing executed by a bank and provided to its own employees, officers, and directors. Regularly, banking laws require each bank to make loans to their insiders at the credits terms, repayment and interest rates, and criteria that are commonly applicable to the other, outside borrowers. These rules are applied not only to keep the financial operations and relations fair but also to limit the insiders’ access to the bank funds.

- This year, we have experienced a fast growth of a number of insider lending operations. If this continues, our funds may get affected.
