SMFShop's bank has customisable interest (basically, it gives the user interest depending on how long their money is in the bank). However, to get the interest working, you need to create a cron job. This assumes that you have cPanel access

First, go into your cPanel. On the right-hand side, underneath 'Subdomain Stats', there should be a 'Cron Jobs' icon. Click it.

Then, click on 'Standard' to go to the standard cron configuration page.

Next, type the command in to the box. The command to use is: /usr/bin/php -q /home/[username]/public_html/[forum]/Sources/shop/dointerest.php > /home/[username]/public_html/[forum]/interest_log.htm

Replace [username] with your cPanel username, and [forum] with the directory your forum is installed into. Then, tell it to run the command every day, by clicking '0' under 'Minutes', '0=12 AM/Midnight' under 'Hours', 'Every Day', 'Every Month', and 'Every Weekday'
Then, save the changes. Your bank interest should now be working (please wait 24 hours for it to start taking effect).
