(Also, the 'no interest' accounts, when EVE gives every player, corp, and alliance the same, for free is a HUGE red flag, by the way)
It's much easier for them to handle deposits this way. Characters, AFAIK, can have any number of checking and/or savings accounts (when you could still open them). It just makes more sense to handle transferring the isk from the general "no interest" account to where you actually want it via the web site.
I don't think EBANK actually thinks they're doing us a favor by having no-interest accounts. It's more for technical reasons as far as I can tell.

My issue is more with the fact that Eve is [mostly] anonymous internet entertainment.
Not so anonymous for Mr. Charlie Eriksen of Denmark, I think.

Given an infinite amount of time EBank is a scam. The managers just haven't realized it yet (hopefully this is the case).
Given an infinite amount of time, everything is a scam.

If I was an EBANK board member I'd immediately throw a self-righteous public tantrum and leave, to start up a competitor offering a 5% rate.
My memory completely fails me at the moment, but there is a competitor offering higher interest amounts.

A 50 billion ISK sum deposited to EBank would 'pay itself' (i.e. double your money) off in 3
Haven't done the math myself, but does that take into account the maximum balance limitation?
EBANK Terms & Conditions 2.1.2: "... Checking balance limitations are 6 billion and savings are 3 billion." |

That's why it would be best for a member of EBANK's own board to quit and start a competitor while espousing greater love for the consumer. As Ricdic seems to realise, trust is everything, and EBANK won't get serious competition from anyone that can't establish a similar level of public recognition and trust.
If there were several viable, well-known banks, the chance of a scam in one of the big ones taking them all down would be much lower.
EBANK and Dynasty Bank have an unofficially "good" relationship. (source) |

Which I'll make sure it's different.
Generally a good idea for anything. For example, third-party forums (like Scrapheap-Challenge or any corp/alliance forums) should NEVER use the same login info you use in-game. It's just too big of a risk of getting your account stolen.
