They make money by taking the money that you have deposited and loaning it out to another individual, business, or bank at a higher interest rate than they are paying you. For example, they may be paying you 1.5% interest and then loaning the money in a mortgage at 6%. This is true of all interest-bearing accounts. When a bank issues a money market certificate it pays interest to the certificate holder in exchange for the bank being able to keep the money for a specified amount of time. During the time that the bank is holding the money they invest it at higher interest rates, such as mortgage loans. The difference between what they earn on the investments and what they pay in interest is profit for the bank.
You cannon earn interest from a credit card if you have a positive credit account. The bank will simply give you a refund if you have overpaid.
