What does RELOAN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To lend something out again, especially money that has already been repaid once.
A bank or library can reloan the same funds or item once it comes back, so a reloan describes both the act of lending again and, as a noun, the second loan itself, often made on new terms. Financial writing uses reloan for money that is repaid and then lent out a further time, keeping the same capital working rather than sitting idle. Libraries and equipment stores use it more loosely for any book, tool or item that is loaned to a new borrower after being returned. The word adds nothing to loan beyond the simple idea of repetition.
How RELOAN is used
Used mainly in banking, lending and library contexts to describe money or items being lent out a further time.
- The bank chose to reloan the repaid funds to another small business.

- The credit union reloans deposits several times over in a single year.
