> they are giving you their money

They create that money by crediting your checking account (their liability) and debiting your loan account (their asset).

But you missing one step where they credit your loan account by debiting their loan book account.

Also your loan account is not a bank asset, it is a bank liability.

It is money the bank might not get back.
