- _heimdall 3y agoSure, banks have multiple revenue streams. They charge merchant fees per transaction, interest on outstanding debt, administration fees for some open accounts, interest on outstanding debt, etc. I'm not saying I agree with all these fees or like the banking industry, but we can't just ignore some revenue streams because others exist. They all add up to a banks quarterly financial statements, and if one goes down they will do everything they can to make up for it in other areas.
- bombcar 3y agoIf you work out the merchant fees on $1k rotated each month vs the interest on $1k held for the entire year, the merchant fees come out greater.
