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.
