The loan is called the principal. People pay interest to borrow money, but payment is interest plus money toward the principal.
compound interest
Money that is borrowed is not taxable. If you borrow it and don't pay it back, it can be classified as income and be subject to income tax. If you borrow money and are not being charged interest, the government will consider the cost of interest to be income that is taxed.
In certain savings account plans they have rates of interest and the more you keep your money in there, the more money you get. This is so because they borrow your money temporarily to lend others but you still have credit for that money. So you will still have your money, but the bank will give you an interest for letting them borrow your money.
Banks usually borrow money from one another when they are running short of cash. They charge a smaller interest (when compared to what interest gets charged to a normal loan customer) when they lend money to other banks. This lending interest rate is called Inter-Bank Lending Rate. Banks even go to the central bank of their country to borrow money if they need it.

Borrowing is the act of taking with intentions of returning it. If you borrow money, most people will charge interest on the money. Most banks charge interest yearly, sometimes monthly. The interest depends on who or where you borrow the money from.
The bank is paying you (compensating you) for the use of your money. When you borrow money from the bank, you pay them interest.
Principal is the amount of money you borrow. Interest is the fee charged by the lender (or bank) to use their money. The total amount of money you pay back is the principle + interest.

With low interest rates the prices of bank borrowing (you borrow money to a bank) is low, therefore they can re-borrow money to others at lower costs and this leads to either A) more people borrowing if price is low or B) more profit for banks if price is high. In both cases, banks win.
