It depends on the terms and conditions etc of the type of savings account. Some savings accounts have interest calculated monthly (on daily balances), and credit the amount of interest to the account monthly. Others do an annual calculation of interest, also based on daily cleared balances, but only credit the account once a year.
If interest is credited each month, each subsequent month you also get interest on the interest previously credited to the account. Alternately, if the interest is paid/credited only annually, the sum credited is the total interest for the year.
Interest rates are quoted taking these factors into account. An account which credits interest monthly will always pay a slightly lower Gross rate of interest than an account that has an annual interest period. This is to take account of the fact that the return on an account where the balance is increasing monthly (due to interest being added each month) will always give a higher return in the year compared to an an account with the same Gross interest rate, but which is calculated and credited only once a year.

What time of year do banks pay interest on your savings account?
Though Banks advertise interest rates of savings accounts in terms of " x% per annum (p.a)" , interest is credited to account on monthly basis, not yearly. That is, if your savings account balance is $1000 and your savings account interest rate is 10%p.a then you will get $100 as total interest for a year. ((1000$/100) x 10 = $100) But, you will be credited $8.33 monthly as interest. ($100/12 months = $8.33)Therefore, Banks do not have certain time of the year to pay interest on savings accounts, but they pay interest monthly. The day of the month where the interest will be credited is differ according to the bank and there is no standard mentioned.However, it is important to note that there are savings accounts with 0% interest rate (i.e Muslim banking systems) as well as savings accounts with multiple interest slabs and interest will be paid twice a month or more etc.
