Interbank Rates
 
A bank is an institution that deals with financial matters. It provides loans for a specific number of days, months or years and gets a specific amount as an interest rate.
Interbank Rate is a term used for this particular percentage of interest on credit for a short period of time. It is agreed upon by the banks involved in the financial market.
This is to fulfill the essential conditions of their business and to adjust the credibility of the debtors. This rate is decided according to the market trends and conditions, the amount of the money and the time limit of the debt.

Same as the clients who deposit their money in the bank can withdraw their full amount or any specific amount at any time, so the bank must have money with it, it is commonly said to be the bank reserves.
