Want this question answered?
Banking is a business in purist term from a banks perspective. They wouldn't take up an activity if it is not profitable for them. Let us say you own a bank and cannot afford to pay interest on savings accounts. Would you continue to incur losses and pay interest? I don't think so. So, to answer the question, yes, paying interest on savings accounts is profitable to most banks. That is why they pay us interest.
i think it should be consiterd
This is a Halifax Sort-code used for accounts opened on-line. It is definitely used for current accounts (I have one) but guests in other chatrooms seem to think it is predominently for savings accounts. I think it can be either as I opened a Reward Current Account online and was given this sort-code but opened an Everyday Saver online a couple of weeks later and got a different sort-code. I'm guessing they have a range of online sort-codes available and issue the same online sort-code until they reach a set number of accounts then move onto the next online sort-code etc. etc.
HSBC....oh so I think. I'm looking for the same...seems like hsbc or ever bank....but it might be for offshore banking only....still looking myself. HSBC IF YOU HAVE 100,000 DOLLARS AND THAT IS CALLED A PREMIER ACCOUNT. GUY
I think it was called the Great Panic hope this helps
The best thing to do is for you and her to go to the bank and see what they think about it.

Yes, most, if not all banks offer free checking and savings accounts. In fact, I can't think of any that don't.
One advantage that I can think of is the fact that Savings Accounts usually offer an interest on the money held in the account whereas Checking accounts offer very little or on most cases zero interest on the money held in the account. On the flip side, there are limitations on the number of transactions you can make on your account in case of Savings accounts whereas there are no such limitations for a checking account.
Savings accounts opened with one bank cannot be transferred to another bank. You would have to close your existing bank account and then open a fresh account with the other bank. This feature is not available as yet and I don't think it will be in future as well.

Cerificate of Deposit accounts are likely your best bet for high interest. However, these accounts do place deposit requirements, and restrict when you can withdraw your money without penalty, so think carefully before investing.
they did not like it
i think so
No. i think it is an ideal form of a savings account
I think what they mean is interest income earnt from having money saved in a savings account.
money not put to use.
