Erm I'm sure its been asked a gazillion times but I've given up trying to scroll through the thread. Is the new site up? When I click my bookmark it takes me to the old site.
Banner at the top of the page has all the info.

I'm new and I hear you guys talking about putting in a disbursement every day a lot. What's the benefit to doing that? Do you use it for taxes? Do you use it because you can't trust Amazon to be like a bank? Do you do that because you just want to get paid every day? Just wondering.

This.

And there's 'rumors' Amazon may be looking to get into the banking business.

All of the above.

If for some reason your account gets suspended, you can't access your funds either on MTurk or on Payments.

I also prefer to transfer to an account that generates interest, sure it is only 1% a year, but rather it work for me than for Amazon.

I do it whenever I get to $20, just because I can, and you are only allowed one per day anyways.
Also because I'd rather get it going with the process of transferring to Amazon Payments, and then to my bank, cause that all takes time, and when I suddenly need the money, waiting a few days for a transfer is not ideal.

If your account is ever suspended, you forfeit all the funds Amazon has in your account. This is true for both funds in MTurk and funds in Amazon Payments.

It isn't forfeit, they eventually put it into your Payments account about 2 months after the suspension and allow you to access your payments account once to transfer it out. I guess to make sure that everything is approved?

Not if your Payments account is suspended.
