Malou Q asked:

How can the bank pay for the interest?

Let’s say that I have $100 in my bank account, and the yearly interest is 5%. Which means that in two years, I will have $110. Am I correct? The question is, where does the extra $10 came from, and who pay for it? $10 doesn’t seem to be much, but when it comes to Bill Gates’s account; who pay for that money?

How does the personal loan from banks such as Bank of America or Citibank work?

BeBeAdY asked:


I just received an offer to apply for a personal loan for up to 35,000 with Bank of America and for up to 5,000 with citibank. I actually need no more than 7,500. The interest rate is between 9,97 and 27,88 based on credit worthyness. I will like to know how it works. I’m hesitating between that and applying for a credit card. My credit score is fair (650). A friend advised me to go for the loan because it’s a guaranteed fixed interest. But since I’ve never done it b4 I will appreciate some more advice. Thanks Much.

How does online banking work. Does my bank print a check and mail it to the payee?

HSB asked:


Or is money wired to the payee from my bank? Doesn’t online banking cost the bank money? How come banks don’t charge for this service. I’m not naive I know they pass on the cost to me but how?

I have debts with my bank including loan, overdraft and credit card. If i was to stop paying my wages into that account what would happen? Would they eventually help me lower my payments for the 3 balances or would they just take court action?

How can you go about getting a personal loan from a bank? What collateral do you usually need?

Mike D! asked:


I will probably need to replace my car soon, but I don’t know that I want a traditional car loan because it would require having more insurance, and thus be rather expensive for me. (It’d be about double for me, as I don’t have a spotless driving record). I was wondering if instead I could get a personal loan from the bank, say in the neighborhood of $3-5K and use that for a car thus saving me a bunch of money by not needing collision coverage if I could pay for the car in cash.

Now the questions … is this possible, or is there usually some stipulation that you can’t use a personal loan for a car? What sort of collateral do you usually need for a personal loan? If you have good credit, can you get one w/out collateral? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
