Not if you listen to those (many) who consider it anti-social behaviour to hoard money instead of spending it (because spending feeds the economy, pays salaries ...), or even getting interest as a "no-work income".

[I disagree with those people: if your money does not participate in the economy, the relative value of other people's money increases]

The bank uses your money where you do or not.
