Loans receivable definition

What are Loans Receivable?

Loans receivable is an account in the general ledger of a lender, containing the current balance of all loans owed to it by borrowers. This is the primary asset account of a lender. A subsidiary ledger may be used to store the detail on each of the loans outstanding, where the ending balance in the subsidiary ledger matches the ending balance for the loans receivable account in the general ledger.
