I can't check for daily interest today because:

(i) I have opened account with money deposited exactly one week ago from yesterday, so interest credited today may include have included interests on money since last week.

(ii) The 5% birthday jar T&C clearly states that interests are credited daily, so no dispute on date anyhow.

(iii) The marginal interest rate on the 5% birthday jar is ... 5%. So I dump all my leftover cash into this birthday jar after filling up GX Bank (1006.50) and the DSA + 8 normal saving jars. Since my deposit amount is greater than 36.60, I can't check on the interest calculation.

I can only check tomorrow...

Those who tried out the magic numbers feel free to report if you got your "rounded-up" 0.01 MYR interest per pocket/DSA here ya biggrin.gif

Can get the RM 0.01 today for special jar amount RM 36.60.
Tomorrow only check the rest of saving jars. The system is calculating the interest.

im still wrapping up my head around things since i just created my account.

but coming from gx previously, basically im familiar with the gist of it.

So right now my strat is:
5% celcomdigi = used 50k/50k.
5% bday jar = used about 15k/25k

what im gonna do next:
5% S&S jar = 36.60 x4
3.6% savings jar = 50.84 x8
2.5% main account = 73.20

then from here on, whatever excess funds i continue dump into the bday jar

am i understanding it right?

Don't worry, I did it already 36.60 on special jars (5%), and 50.84 on normal jars (3.6%). Can confirm your formula works (unlike Rafizi)

First, your aim is to maximize the highest effective rate. That means you double the 5% birthday/partner promo jars to 10%. I computed the figure to be 36.60 MYR.

Then, you move to the next highest effective rate, i.e., the normal saving jars, you seek to double the rates from 3.6 to 7.2%, I computed the figure to be 50.84 MYR per pocket for a total of 8 pockets maximum = total 406.72 MYR.

Lastly you double the DSA rate from 2.5% to 5% = magic number is 73.20 MYR.

--------------------------------------

After this, you dump all your remaining money back into the 5% birthday jar and promo jars up to the maximum limit possible. Remember, for the special jars, anything above 36.60 MYR will earn 5% p.a. (the marginal interest rate).

After you hit the limit for all special jars, dump 1006.50 MYR into GX Bank to earn the 4% effective rate.

If there's anything leftover, you then dump the rest into the normal saving jars (for effective rate of 3.6% p.a.)

If all 8 saving jars at BoostBank are full, you go down the "effective rate chain" further and move money to Rize (3.3%).

Further down you have TnG Go+ of around 3.4% p.a., and further down you have AEON Bank 3% -> BoostBank DSA 2.5% p.a. (anything above 73.20 MYR earns marginal rate of 2.5% p.a.) -> GX Bank 2% p.a. (anything above 1006.50 at GX Bank earns marginal rate of 2% p.a.).

4% p.a. effective rate only on the first 1006.50. Anything above that earns 2% p.a., i.e., the marginal interest rate.

Make sure it's 91.50 MYR per saving pocket for GX Bank. Minimum per pocket MUST be 91.50 to earn the minimum 0.01 MYR interest per day. You can open a maximum of 10 saving pockets at GX Bank + 1 main account, hence 91.50 * 11 = 1006.50.

DO NOT put 1006.50 in just one saving pocket/main account. The effective rate will just be 2% p.a. if you do this.

-----------------------

Yes, Boost birthday jar can be emptied anytime.

I am starting to like digital banks... round-up tricks, no gated withdrawals, a far cry from my experience with ewallets...

No magic number for Go+ as the backend is an MMF, the returns fluctuate based on daily deposits/withdrawals plus market interest rates, even though they pay you daily interests.

And don't use their service. Withdrawal from TnG ewallet is a hassle and subject to gating as they like. You don't enjoy the same liquidity as a conventional/digital bank. They will ban you if they like as well.
