What is another word for sub-prime?
Pronunciation: [sˈʌbpɹˈa͡ɪm] (IPA) 
"Sub-prime" is a term used to describe a loan or investment that is considered riskier than a prime loan, typically due to the borrower's credit history or financial situation. Some synonyms for "sub-prime" include "non-prime," "near-prime," or "substandard." Another term that is often used in this context is "high-risk," which refers to loans or investments that have a higher likelihood of defaulting. Additionally, the term "predatory lending" is often used to describe loans that are made to borrowers who are unlikely to be able to repay them and are therefore at risk of being exploited by lenders.
