Answer 1

This one works for me. I have excel test app that formats the currency into 2 decimal places with comma as thousand separator. Below is the Console Application that writes data on Excel File.

Make sure you have referenced Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel dll

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var bankAccounts = new List<Account> {
                new Account { ID = 345678, Balance = 541.27},
                new Account {ID = 1230221,Balance = -1237.44},
                new Account {ID = 346777,Balance = 3532574},
                new Account {ID = 235788,Balance = 1500.033333}
};
            DisplayInExcel(bankAccounts);
        }
        static void DisplayInExcel(IEnumerable<Account> accounts)
        {
            var excelApp = new Excel.Application { Visible = true };
            excelApp.Workbooks.Add();
            Excel._Worksheet workSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)excelApp.ActiveSheet;
            workSheet.Cells[1, "A"] = "ID Number";
            workSheet.Cells[1, "B"] = "Current Balance";
            var row = 1;
            foreach (var acct in accounts)
            {
                row++;
                workSheet.Cells[row, "A"] = acct.ID;
                workSheet.Cells[row, "B"] = acct.Balance;

            }
            workSheet.Range["B2", "B" + row].NumberFormat = "#,###.00 €";
            workSheet.Columns[1].AutoFit();
            workSheet.Columns[2].AutoFit();
        }
    }
    public class Account
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public double Balance { get; set; }
    }
}

The Output
