The term pay interest is usually used along with loan accounts. This is the charge/money you pay a bank for the lending facility they have extended to you.
For Ex: If I borrow USD 1000 from a bank @ 5% rate of interest per year, I have pay $50 as interest every year to the bank for the $1000 loan they gave me. If I plan on paying it in 10 equal installments, I will pay $105 every month for 10 months to repay the $1050 I owe the bank. Here the $5 I pay every month can be considered as "Paying Interest on my Loan Account"
It varies, interest is typically paid monthly or quarterly depending on the type of account it is. Checking accounts ususally pay interest monthly while savings and certificates typically pay interest quarterly. It is up to the bank on how often they pay interest.

Yes, if you still owed a balance at the time the account was closed. Just because a company closes an account does not mean that any balances that are owed to them disappear. If your account was closed and there was still a balance outstanding and you did not pay that balance, the company has every right to collect the balance and any interest outstanding.
The only real difference is that the interest on a savings account is money paid to you by the bank (usually paid quarterly by many banks). On the other hand, on a loan is money you pay the bank for borrowing their money. The reason the bank pays you interest on a savings account is because the bank will actually use the money you give them in your savings to pay others loans. So in basic terms, they are "borrowing" your money, so they pay you interest for doing so.
Interest. Apex. The interest rate is a certain percentage of how much you have in the savings account that the bank will pay you annually. I highly suggest watching Graham Stephan on YouTube to learn about the best high interest savings accounts so you can make money for saving!
