| Quote: SBR "So the repayments are profit? As an example say I borrow £10,000 for 12 months at a rate of 6.7%. The bank creates that money. At the end of the 12 months the total amount I will have paid the bank will be £10,355.76. This £10,355.76 is the profit (ignoring any admin/staff costs etc.) the bank has made on the loan? This money is now sat there in the bank's reserves for it to do with as it pleases?'"
No, they "gave" you 10K, you've returned it. The two cancel out, obviously.

Yes.
They get to buy their services with their big, tax payer funded, bonus payouts. So they do indeed get the chicks for free because you are paying for them instead.

| Quote: Cookridge_Rhino "I agree with your explanation of fractional reserve banking but the OP doesnt, he (because he has misunderstood things he has read and heard) thinks that they need no money at all in their reserves in order to lend money, he thinks they literally lend as much money as they want because it all compeletely comes from nowhere.'"
Forget the fractional reserve system, thats from yesteryear.
Banks now just create money from nothing, then go into the interbank lending markets and loan the money needed to cover their reserve ratios. That's how Northern Rock was sunk, nobody would lend them the money.

They were borrowing money on the markets. That's just the same as me borrowing a fiver from you.

In my opinion understanding how money is created and destroyed is the number one political question.
Why do we let private banks control the money supply? Why do governments continue to borrow debt based money from private banks when they could create the money themselves?
