My company has a few accounts. We often transfer funds between accounts. However, those funds will have to be paid back to each account from which it came from; aka loans between accounts. Do I record the transactions as just a transfer or should I be creating a separate loan account? If so, can you please guide me through that?

I understand, but if I have to run a report, how will it be displayed?
Is it better to categorize them?
Joining the conversation to help with your questions about transferred transactions, sw1222.
I'd also like to ask what report you'll be running? Bank transactions that tagged as "Transfers" when running account register or balance sheet reports.
If you're referring to the Memo field, you can customize the report and add the Memo/Description column. Just click the Customize button and check the box for Memo/Description under the Rows/Columns section.
You can check out this article for more details: Customize Reports in QuickBooks Online.
I would also recommend reaching out to your accountant if you should be categorizing or tagging them as transfers.
