A bank is an institution that deals with financial
matters. It provides loans for a specific number of
days, months or years and gets a specific amount as
an interest rate.
Interbank Rate is a term used for this particular percentage
of interest on credit for a short period of time. It
is agreed upon by the banks involved in the financial
market.
This is to fulfill the essential conditions of their
business and to adjust the credibility of the debtors.
This rate is decided according to the market trends
and conditions, the amount of the money and the time
limit of the debt.
In fact, it is necessary on the part of the banks to
keep a certain portion of cash or the things easily
convertible to cash every time. Same as the clients
who deposit their money in the bank can withdraw their
full amount or any specific amount at any time, so the
bank must have money with it, it is commonly said to
be the bank reserves.

In case, the bank has shortage of
money and the need arises, then it will have to take
the money from the interbank market so that it can
meet up to the requirements of the client.
It is also possible that the bank is having enough
money that is more than its need, commonly said to
be the surplus. Then, it will be in a position to
provide loans to other banks in the financial market.
Hence, it will charge a certain portion as an interest
rate what we call Interbank Rate.
The latest interbank rates are updated from time to
time worldwide. LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate)
is the interest rate determined and adjusted on the
daily basis by the major banks in London. It is also

LIBOR. So, it is the basic standard for loans of short
time period.
