Explanation

In case of loan/advance accounts, banker is the creditor and the customer is the debtor. It is because the customer owes money to the banker. The banker can demand the repayment of loan/advance on the due date and the customer has to repay the debt. Here, bank is crediting the amount in Y's account, thus the relationship is of creditor and debtor.
