The only "interest" I've gotten from a bank in probably decades is a free checking account which money can be deposited into and withdrawn from (via paper check or a couple different online payment mechanisms), the very rare notary service, and ATMs (also increasingly rare). I regularly sweep any significant excess cash to a brokerage account. I understand companies keeping larger pure cash accounts but how many individuals are keeping $500K in a bank deposit account?
