It is possible for the system to pay interest on SBD that is held in your account. Lately it's been 0%. This interest rate is determined by the witnesses (mostly the top 20 witnesses). They should set their interest rate to something higher. I'm a witness too, so I set mine to 3%.

@neoxian, thanks for the reply and further explanation about the interest rates.

I always noticed "Tokens worth about $1.00 of STEEM, currently collecting 0% APR." on my wallet screen, but I was never sure how the interest rate was determined.

He's speaking to the other witnesses.

Thanks for the clarification. I just reread the article and see it now.

I'm a bit confused? SO you can transfer sbd to savings and get interest payments?

@ryan313 - Yes, if the Steemit interest rate was more than 0%. That is what @neoxian is asking the other witnesses to consider.
