Sorry, BoostBank kept changing rates here and there within one day, my calculations can't keep up and I made some mistake in the earlier calculations; Optizorb corrected it, thanks! And from what I check a moment ago, they insert wrong URLs for the T&C of all Sabah jars: try to click on the T&C links for the Sabah jars and they will show the celebration jar T&C instead  doh.gif Go check out: myboostbank.co/special-jars

Anyway, here's what we know so far:

2.5 % p.a. DSA (no deadline announced):

Minimum 0.005*365/0.025 = 73, at increment of 0.01*365/0.025 = 146 for every extra cent of interest (no max limit *, 50k daily transfer limit cap)

3.2 % p.a. Normal saving jar (no deadline announced, but suspect all saving jar rate will drop to 3% after 9th January, in line with the declining rate for Celebration jar after 9th January):

For now:

Minimum 0.005*365/0.032 = 57.04, at increment of 0.01*365/0.032 = 114.07 for every extra cent of interest (Normal jar max limit is 1 million, but to earn interest, max needed is just 57.04 + 114.07 * 8766 = 999,994.66 per jar, uhmmm let's push it further, since we will get 999,994.66 * 0.032/365 = 87.67 per day at this juncture, might as well target 87.665 per day right? Hence, the maximum principal to put in is 87.665*365/0.032 = 999,928.91.

Rate drop to 3% after 9th January (same with Celebration jar, see below, except deposit limit -> normal saving jar limit 1 million, Celebration jar limit 25k):

Minimum 0.005*365/0.030 = 60.84, at increment of 0.01*365/0.03 = 121.67 for every extra cent of interest (Normal jar max limit is 1 million, but to earn interest, max needed is just 60.84 + 121.67 * 8218 = 999,944.90 per jar, uhmmm let's push it further, since we will get 999,944.90 * 0.03/365 = 82.19 per day at this juncture, might as well target 82.185 per day right? Hence, the maximum principal to put in is 82.185*365/0.03 = 999,917.50.

3.6 % p.a. Special saving jar (3.6% only till 9th Jan 2025, from 10th Jan onwards Celebration/birthday jar rate dropped to 3% p.a., CelcomDigi rate dropped to 3.3% p.a., Sabah jar T&C not yet released...):

From now till 9th January 11:59:59 pm:

Minimum 0.005*365/0.036 = 50.70, at increment of 0.01*365/0.032 = 101.39 for every extra cent of interest. 25k limit max principal is 24,992.37 (you earn 2.47 MYR daily interests) while for 50k limit max principal is 49,934.03 (you earn 4.93 MYR daily interests).

From 10th Jan 12 am onwards:

3% Celebration/Birthday jar magic number follows the case mentioned above in normal saving jar paragraph

3.3% CelcomDigi and the Sabah jars:

Minimum 0.005*365/0.033 = 55.31, at increment of 0.01*365/0.033 = 110.61 for every extra cent of interest (I will leave it as an exercise for you to show that for the 50k CelcomDigi jar, if you are eligible, the max principal to put is 49938.64 and you get max daily interest of 4.52 MYR.)

* after credit transfer verification, max across all balance including saving jars: RM 100,000,000, see https://myboostbank.co/terms-and-conditions section C, item 3)

Wah bro you calculated till so big near RM1 million..?

by the time you deposited that amount the extra 0.01sen is really insignificant

for those who really wanna squeeze the max you should only place bare minimum eg RM73 ,RM57.04 only in each jar

if you have few hundreds the benefit is very much diluted
if few thousands there, the effect become insignificant

go into few hundreds k, no need this anymore

accumulated interest by
6.11.24 RM3302.29
6.12.24 RM5400.38

I rechecked the FAQ links and T&C PDF, nothing changed. Check their FB page, 3.3% and 3% mentioned:

https://www.facebook.com/myboostbank/

Not sure where you saw the 3.3 and 3.4% thingie, if it's from the app notification, just ignore. As I said, their app figures are all wrong until things have settled down. Always check the FAQ, T&C PDFs and their social media pages.

in May 5 i wanted to Duitnow RM800 to TnG but failed facial recognition. so i had to use debit card topup to send it over.

so from then onwards, my daily interest is RM0.06 instead of RM0.01 (so I see RM73.06 daily. this is normal behaviour as i encountered this during last year's 5% cashback promo. i used debit card to reload into tng to get the cashback, and i also see the same extra interest as the money is considered "floating")

today, i found out that i have extra RM800 in the boost acct. tried to search boost trx on May 5th and 6th and it seems like that debit card trx has disappeared. so woohoo RM800 windfall?

rize also higher interest. however one big disaster last year coz thousand of people money lost during transit. Took more than 10 days+ to recover the money & some account has negative balance. Trust lost and a lot of people move away even higher interest.
Boost bank CS is very bad when u have a problem. One email to them, end up 3-4 email from them which keep asking same question about you. For me it sound stupid, just 1 email to verify is enough. Waste of resources and inefficient when dealing customer problem. 1 simple problem, drag for a week. Not case resolution, but keep asking info about you.

Stability + Good CS is crucial when deal with digital bank. It is not a physical bank which you can knock in their door.

If above don't meet & give high interest also pointless as digital bank. Compare to current digital bank ranking, i will rate

1.GXbank & Aeon Bank
3.KAF (Beta)
4. Boost Bank (last)
*
Rize interest is lower , only 3.3%
and you dont get daily..must wait end of month

Anyone put money in Boost My Money ?
At 3.75% return
My deposit rm500 started 20.12.24
Added RM 500 on 20.2.25
Total shown now RM1011.78 that looks like 3.0%
Any one good at this calculation?

If only get 3.0% might as well transfer to Zus Jar 3.5% can see daily interest, paid exactly 3.5%

previous months 3.7%, 3.65% etc

your excuse UT return not fixed tak boleh pakai lah brows.gif

Who does not know UT no guarantee...

maybe got extra payment later can accept... rolleyes.gif

resetting to new rates?

if 3.5% no more, sure will kick out the money in the Jar
then let customers see new rates
agree then you deposit back
