Crucially, usury (i.e. lending money with interest) was something that Christians could not do. It was considered a sin. Judaism has no problem with it, though.

Since somebody is unlikely to lend you money for free, and loans were a service that people needed, Jewish lenders filled that void and became wealthy.
