If you read the above thing from that website, the author is being misleading to suggest that it's something insidious or shocking that is going on, even though it seems that he perfectly understands that the "money created by commercial banks" isn't REALLY money at all. When banks lend, they create an asset in their books since a loan is an asset to the bank, which can be converted to money but not money in the same sense as notes or coins. For instance, you can sell your house & convert it to money but that doesn't mean that the house ITSELF is money; it's the same with bank-deposits, we perceive the deposit-amount in our bank-account as "money" but it's merely an asset to us, which the bank could convert to money when we want but of course, if ALL OF US showed up at our respective banks to get our money, then the banks wouldn't be able to pay us all since like I've said, banks don't create money in any real sense, & most of the money that we'd all deposited in banks was loaned out by banks. Of course, IF such a highly unlikely thing ever happens that every depositor in the country wants to take out their deposit, then central-bank is supposed to step in & produce that money to pay all of our deposits but again, that's the central-bank creating money, not the commercial banks.
Here's a question for YOU. IF banks "create money" when they lend, why money isn't created when individuals (like you & me) loan money to one to another? What is that "magical" thing SPECIFICALLY that banks do, that doesn't happen when individuals lend money to one another privately? In essence, there's no difference between the two.
