More money in savings accounts means the banks have more money to lend. The borrowers of that money will presumably spend it on something or invest it.

Actually, savings would not have that impact.

Money which is not saved is either spent or invested. In either case, 100% of the funds are placed in to circulation. However, a bank is only allowed to lend a percentage of what they have on deposit. As a result, less than 100% of money in savings is then spent or invested..
