For people who work in banks, where does the money come from that's used for paying them?
Apart from overdraft fees, I haven't heard about banks' customers paying their banks.

They just take money as they need out of your account.

Yes you have. You're thinking only of checking accounts, but banks do a lot more than that. They make loans: mortgages, personal loans, even loans to other banks. The customers who borrow money pay interest (at a much higher rate than the bank pays you for your checking account).
