Nevertheless, TANSTAAFL. The incentive here is being paid for in other ways, and you’d need to determine the opportunity costs of that money going somewhere else instead.
There is totally such thing as a free lunch and this post is evidence of such. The incentive is being paid for with the free money ING generates in their magic vaults of fractional reserve banking.
I was being serious but with a mocking tone in the first paragraph.
The question was sincere, I wasn’t sure what opportunity cost nick was referring to and especially confused by his use of the word “need”. His response cleared that up by making it clear that he was knocking the financial system as a whole, which I agree is insane, yet it somehow continues to work in one of the very real examples of magic in everyday life.

You’re confusing me; are you being sarcastic in the first paragraph and your question supposed to imply a knock-down argument against the preceding?

That of all the money devalued by the inflation caused by printing money.
