How does a bank make money from issuing money market certificates?
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.
What does it mean to '' earn interest''?
To "earn interest" means to receive compensation for lending money or depositing funds in a financial institution. When you save money in a bank account or invest in financial products like bonds, the institution pays you interest as a percentage of your principal amount. This interest serves as an incentive for you to keep your money with them, while they use those funds for lending or investing. Essentially, it reflects the cost of borrowing money or the reward for saving.

In certain savings account plans they have rates of interest and the more you keep your money in there, the more money you get.

So you will still have your money, but the bank will give you an interest for letting them borrow your money.
