Rock Solid Bank and Trust (RSB&T) offers only checking accounts. Customers can write checks and use a network of automated teller machines. RSB&T earns revenue by investing the money deposited; currently, it averages 6.00 percent annually on its investments of those deposits. To compete with larger banks, RSB&T pays depositors 0.50 percent on all deposits. A recent study classified the banks annual operating costs into four activities.
