It is one of the behaviors of private lending for individuals to cross the bridge with funds. Whether it is illegal for individuals to use funds to cross the bridge mainly depends on whether the interest payment complies with the law.
Crossing the bridge itself is a short-term financing, with a term ranging from a few days to several months, and the longest is no more than half a year. It is a means of docking short-term funds with long-term funds, similar to the mismatch of funds in financial institutions (short-term funds invest in long-term projects).
