It Depends:
For Bank: Liability For You: Asset
ASSET
Cash at the bank is an asset for you but a liability for the bank if it is held in a checking or regular savings account.
Bank loan is a liability for business not an asset for business.
Asset - Liability = Net Asset / Liability * Net Asset - When Asset is more than Liability * Net Liability - When Liability is more than Asset

net working capital of bank is the difference of current asset and current liability of a bank.
Yes, it is a current asset as part of the cash at bank. It also creates a liability for the amount of the loan.
Cash is an asset like money in the bank (this is something that you OWN). Bank loans and overdrafts (things that you OWE) are liabilities. The easiest way they teach it in accounting is: whatever you own (like money in the bank/cash/company vehicles) is an asset. But whatever you owe (like bank loan - that will need repayment/VAT owing to HMRC) is a liability.
The only way that a bank loan can be an asset is if the loan is less than what the assett is worth. Otherwise I do not belive a bank loan can be an assett. Answer 1: A Bank loan is an asset for the bank because it is money that a customer will repay. Any instrument in which money will be received can be considered an asset. In case of a loan, it is an asset to the bank and a liability to the person who borrowed the money
