In a macroeconomic level it is a misnomer to say that "banks" create liquidity (money). Banks, typically speaking, take in deposits from customers and in turn loan these deposits back out buy creating loans backed by collateral (house, car, land...etc). Liquidity (aka. cash, capital, money) is created, at least in the United States, by the Central Bank (The Federal Reserve Bank) by literally printing money and using that money via it's Federal Open Market Committee to purchase USA bonds. When the bonds are purchased there is a net inflow of capital thereby creating liquidity (also known as quantitate easing).
It can also be said that on a microeconomic level banks can internally create liquidity in a number of ways. First by selling assets (loans). Second by requiring customers to pay off loans due (calling in loans). Third by selling equity in the bank. Or lastly through a bond issuance.
