Banks can technically create unlimited money out of nothing if they wanted to? Then why don't they write off my student loans?

No they can't. Only the central/national bank can do that.

Commercial banks do not have unlimited credit. Contrary to popular belief, reserves are not the limiting factor. The Basel capital requirements are the limiting factor, and reserves are largely irrelevant - see http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Documents/quarterlybulletin/2014/qb14q1prereleasemoneycreation.pdf

But as long as the currency is free floating, the central bank that creates it (the Federal Reserve in America's case) can create unlimited money out of nothing. Unlimited doesn't mean without consequences, and there are circumstances where creating too much money would be too inflationary - indeed as the commercial banks do also create money, there are times when destroying money is a more sensible policy. But when the central bank can create money out of nothing, a country would be crazy to aim for a balanced budget.

Banks don't create "money", they create "credit". Credit is a promise to pay money at a future date. Money is money right now (physical notes/coins and reserves held by private banks at the central bank).

Bank create deposits in your account out of nothing (which are only claims on the bank's reserves held at the central bank. To extinguish a private liability (such as a student loan debt), you need money not credit. You can't pay off debt with credit. Your creditor doesn't want a new IOU, they want money.

The bank could technically pay off the student loan with their reserves and assume a new loan to you but they would only do that if there was an economic incentive to do so (you were going to pay them more than they paid to extinguish the loan). The result being you would just be in more debt.

tl;dr banks create credit, not money and when you pay off a debt you need money.

>>1604635
This is true and is based off the reserve requirements set by central bank. This is OK and planned for, however the banks can also restrict money supply based on their confidence in lending which is what the Fed does not account for.
>>
>>1606986
The reserve requirement is trivial; it does not have any noticeable effect on how much the banks can lend.

To some extent the Fed does account for banks restricting money supply based on their confidence in lending. They do this by adjusting interest rates at the moment. But the lower the interest rates get, the less effective that is. Pushing on a string is the usual metaphor.
>>
>>1607166
Sorry, the above does not quite make sense. The "at the moment" should go after the "But".
>>
>>1607166
I agree with this. Yes the banks have too much control over money supply, oh well that's how it was designed and all these government designs always suck.
