Best Answer

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"

Can a company who closes your account try to collect interest three years after closing the account?

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.


What is the difference between interest on savings account and interest on a loan?

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.
