Some banks may choose to hold excess reserves, leading to a money supply that is less than that predicted by the money multiplier.

Customers may withdraw cash, removing a source of reserves against which banks can create money.

Individuals and businesses may not spend the entire proceeds of their loans, removing the multiplier effect on money creation.
