    Solution

    Loans are made by commercial banks using bank deposits received from depositors. When a bank makes a loan, it does not make a cash payment. A demand deposit account is opened in the borrower’s name, and the loan proceeds are placed there. The borrower may pay from these demand deposits through a cheque, ATM, or internet banking.
