You give you bank your money, they give you pennies to let them use it. They loan your money out to people buying homes and cars and charge them a crap load to use. And thats how they make money. Of course, they take on all the risk as they gave your money to someone else, but they still have to pay you back!!
They lend your money to other people and charge the borrowers enormous amounts of interest, but give depositors very little.
