I use the "Bank" account type. When I reconcile, it opens a popup window to enter an interest payment. Sometimes I use it and sometimes I find it a nuisance so I am ambivalent about the value of the feature, but it is there.

(thus, when *not* using Debit/Credit) There used to be a feature that allowed for adding an interest transaction for checking accounts when using the reconciliation feature. I seem to recall it being problematic, and so I think it was disabled, but I can't be certain. That would only have triggered for accounts of type 'bank'. (there is a comparable feature for 'credit card' type accounts) But if you aren't reconciling, I wouldn't think that matters anyway. I don't know of any other particular reason you would want to use the special cash and bank types.
