You're a business man and you don't know what your money sitting on your account does for them?

Well, they could use it to make loans to people who can't afford it, they could issue credit cards to broke college students, or they could lend it to other businesses on the verge of going out of business. With the measly cost of checking and checkbook they could make prime rate return on your money or lose it all like most banks did the last few years.
