Interesar construction
The verb "interesar" works like "gustar": use an indirect object pronoun (me, te, le, nos, os, les) + third‑person verb + infinitive to express interest.
Infinitive after interesar
When the thing you are interested in is an action, place the infinitive verb directly after the conjugated "interesar".
Indefinite article
Use "una" before a singular, countable noun when you are speaking about any account, not a specific one.

"Gustar" expresses liking, not interest; use "interesar" for "to be interested in".
Me interesar abrir una cuenta.
The verb must be conjugated: "interesa" for third‑person singular.
Me interesa abrir cuenta.
The noun needs its indefinite article unless you are referring to a specific known account.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, using the polite form "Me interesa" (or "Me gustaría") when speaking to bank staff shows respect. If you need a specific type of account, you can add "corriente" (checking) or "de ahorros" (savings) after "cuenta".
