On the bank interest rates page, you can calculate the interest that you should receive and pay for your bank accounts.
You select the account, then the dates, for which the interest is to be calculated. This could for example be from January 1st. in one year, until January 1st. in the next year. That'll give you the interest rates for that particular year.
Then you choose to either get the result direct on the interest page, or you may wish to view the result in report format, with all the transactions, and individual interest rates.
Please note, that in order for the calculations to work correctly, the amounts, interest rates and intervals have to have been entered according to the rules explained in adding/editing transactions.
