This news caught my attention, I think if all the banks start to charge saving accounts, then people would rather hold their investments. But it turns out it is only a charge by the insurance company

Cash hoarding is the main enemy of economy growth

Wow, the depisit insurance is actually paid for by the banks!

Amazing! I always figured they let the taxpayers take care of that for them.
