In general, any loan which does not meet guidelines is a non-conforming loan. A loan which does not meet guidelines specifically because the loan amount exceeds the guideline limits is known as a jumbo loan.

Wider and not too wide, as a dish in space
Is excellent, conforming to demands
Not yet formulated.”

Small was the debt I thought,
Poor was the loan at best—
God! but the interest!”
