How do you make them pay more? You can charge them a higher interest rate, but that just means fewer of them will borrow money from you.

If you charge high interest rates to the low-risk borrowers and low interest rates to the high-risk borrowers, you'll end up with a customer base consisting almost entirely of high-risk borrowers, and you'll be out of business PDQ.

You're not. Each level on the scale subsidizes itself.
