What is the difference between a deposit of money with a bank and a loan?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Peoples Westchester Sav. Bank v. F.D.I.C., 961 F.2d 327 (2nd Cir. 1992):

All deposits made with bankers may be divided into two classes, namely, those in which the bank becomes a bailee of the depositor, the title of the thing deposited remaining with the latter; and that other kind of deposit of money peculiar to the banking business, in which the depositor, for his own convenience, parts with the title to his money, and loans it to the banker; and the latter, in consideration of the loan of the money and the right to use it for his own profit, agrees to refund the same amount, or any part thereof, on demand.
