But one temple is charging worshippers a 20% yearly interest rate.

To get 'fortune money,' you go to a temple and ask the god. You then toss two divination blocks to see if the god has given you the money or not. Most temples in Taiwan that lend 'fortune money' do not set deadlines for repayment or charge interest for the service.
