It compounds their profits as they make more from the deposit than you! That’s what he really means.
Use a brokerage like Fidelity as your bank instead of these fuckers at Chase and BofA who don't respect you despite you giving them your money.
Doesn't have to be Fidelity, but in the current day if you're not getting the following from your bank you're getting fucked:

No overdraft fees
Minimum 4% APY on savings, minimum 2% APY on checking
ATM fee reimbursement
Instant transfers between your own accounts
Access to direct deposits even while they're still pending
