OK, how does that gel with a report from S&P [1] that says:

“Banks lend by simultaneously creating a loan asset and a deposit liability on their balance sheet. That is why it is called credit “creation” – credit is created literally out of thin air (or with the stroke of a keyboard)”?

Also Prof Werner's analysis, he reaches the same conclusion.
