But that’s where the interest comes in
Opening a bank account
---------------------------
.
.
Teller: What sort of account do you want, a checking account or a savings account?
Man: What difference does it make?
Teller: A checking account is an account you just write checks on.
Man: And the savings account?
Teller: With the savings account, you leave your money longer and you can earn interest.
Man: Interest? Oh, I’m interested in interest. Oh, What does it
mean?
Teller: Well, let’s see… … this money that you’re depositing comes to almost $100.
Man: Right.
Teller: So, if you put this into a savings account and save it for several
months, we have the use of your money for those months.
Man: Oh, so you borrow my money for several months.
Teller: Yes, but that’s where the interest comes in, because we pay you for lending us your money. We pay you interest.
