Do banks use simple interest or compound interest

Open in App

Solution

simple interest and compound interest :Banks are known to use both these forms of interest depending on the amount of the deposit and its tenure.
For simple interest, the interest is generated based only on the principal amount.
On the other hand, for compound interest, the interest is generated based on both the principal as well as the previously generated interest.
Hence, Banks use both simple interest and compound interest.
