Since the Islamic Banks don't pay interest and the ordinary folk invest in the Banks on the Islamic Basis of Earnings as Profit NOT Interest, they will withdraw their investments too and start moving to the real Interest Earning Banks to remain Islamic. Double DIPPING!

Expect some "service charges" from your bank. Banks will likely recover that tax from treasuries interest and charges from customers.
