<p>"Loaned" would be the past tense of "loan" (the verb). No controversy, just changing language and some differences between two countries.</p>

<p>Do you mean loaned as the past tense of lend? I always thought of loaned as an American idiom but looking into it further it seems that if I took out a loan I would be within my rights to say that somebody loaned me the money; but if I borrowed it from my cousin, then I would probably have to say they lent me it.</p>
<p>Had no idea there was such controversy surrounding these words. Interesting.</p>

<p>Well, "loaned" has to be a verb. A second check on the Internet revealed that the UK switched from loan to lend early in the 19th century, but that Americans continued to use "loan" as a verb. It became associated with provincialism. :) I suppose by now, lend is the clear winner. My Webster's is Webster's Seventh and still lists "loan".</p>

<p>The Online Dictionary defines LOANED as a noun. It defines LENT as the "<span>Past tense and past participle of lend". So you are spot on.</span><a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/lend"><br/></a></p>

<p>I've never heard of an bank that writes a mortgage called a loaner; they're lenders, even though they offer loans.</p>
<p>To borrow a legal term, this may be a distinction without a difference.</p>
