A large number of accounts go close to zero every month limiting banks ability to use them for loans.

And then fund more loans on those loans. Like fractional reserve banking.

Then package them up and sell them as a triple-A bond. Hey we are getting somewhere now.

What could possibly go wrong ^_^

Loaning out money at 1-2% isn't great either, once you've accounted for administration and defaults.
