Detailed Solution

Banks use deposits to fulfil the loan requirements of all people. People keep the money they do not require daily use with the banks as deposits. Bank even pays them interest on it. Banks act as mediators to bring this money back into the market. It loans out these deposits to those seeking loans at an interest rate higher than they give on the deposits. The bank earns the working capital and profit from this difference in the interest rates.
