The answer

Usury (Riba) is inherent in this transaction from every aspect, starting with the interest stipulated at the time of the contract, and extending to the late payment penalty, which is one of the two forms of pre-Islamic usury (Riba al-Jahiliyyah), where the creditor would tell the debtor: "Either you pay, or you increase [the debt]."
