It is right to think that banks are all evil? Well, more perceptions are like that. How banks work is that a "bank" is a financial institution that invests strategically to make profits, and it can be advantageous to put your money in a traditional bank if you know the bank rules, and bank fees and so forth. Fees can send you running for payday loans in quick time – but if you have a lot in savings, the interest rate and savings rate can pay off very well. They also have more lending capital, for people wishing to borrow money.
