Banks use excess reserves to make loans to customers so that they can make profits on the interest
Commercial banks cannot use excess reserves to make common loans. They can only use them to make loans to other banks who may need more required reserves. Excess reserves increase the monetary base but do not enter the M1 or M2 money supply. The only entity that can effect the total excess reserves is the Federal Reserve. When the fed decides to reduce its balance sheet, it will sell assets in the market and reduce an equal amount of excess reserves.

Because, the excess reserves they hold are going to stay idle in their vaults (safe deposit boxes) and are not going to earn any money for them. Instead if they loan it out to customers, they can earn an interest on the same. So banks try to keep their excess reserves as low as possible.

Why do banks hold excess reserves?
They would hold excess reserves when conditions are such that they earn very little, or risks of loss are greater than interest reward or as now, 2/1/12, when the Federal Reserve is actually paying interest to the banks to keep reserves. There's now about $1.4 trillion of excess reserves of banks held at the Fed. It resulted from the Fed stuffing the bank "persons" with money lent at near zero interest to replace that which the banks destroyed with the liar loans and CDO- CDS securities. While 13 million human persons are unemployed, it's nutty to maintain such credit scarcity. But that's "free enterprise."

What does a bank do to its excess reserves?
A bank typically holds excess reserves as a buffer to meet unexpected withdrawals or regulatory requirements. It can also lend out these excess reserves to generate interest income, typically through loans to customers or interbank lending. Alternatively, a bank may invest the excess reserves in short-term securities to earn a return while maintaining liquidity. Ultimately, the management of excess reserves is a key aspect of a bank's liquidity and profitability strategy.
Why do commercial bank lend out the excess reserves?
They dont loan out their excess reserves. They only have excess reserves because they dont have loan demand from qualified borrowers and the marginal return from an average loan is greater than the interest paid on the excess reserves. IE they have to receive a marginal return of X amount above .25% they now receive on their excess reserves from a borrower SO 1. They have to loan demand 2. Qualified borrower 3. Net marginal return of higher than the amount of interest they receive on their reserves.
