Good news, with updated T&C, the daily transaction limit is revised to 50k.

And now special jar revised to 5% this month, and got Boost birthday jar for 30 days, jar capped 25k.

36.60 manage to get 0.01, magic number?

Edit: yes, 36.60 gets you RM0.01, so total is 10% effective interest rate (god bless)
*
so just dump 36.60 in to those 5% jars that got quota and not using?

For me right now, im utilizing celcomdigi jar 50k, and about 15k so far for birthday jar..

So for the other 4 S&S jars, just activate it and put 36.60 right?
Then when will it get deactivated since we unable to fulfill the T&C for it? and what happens when the jar gets deactivated?

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

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?

16k * 0.05 / 366 = 2.185

If deposit 25k, may get 3.42 max?

if your goal is to see nothing but 10%, then yes.

otherwise it doesn't really have any impact..

The savings from the round-up should be (25000-24997.80) * 5 (5 jars in total, birthday + 4 Sabah jars) + (50000-49959) * 1 jar (Celcomdigi jar) = 52 MYR.

You can put this 52 MYR anywhere you like, like Rize, TnG Go+ etc. (assume amount is small and no issues with withdrawal gating) etc.

Not sure if Rize will accrue the interests day after day or simply sum up the daily interests and pay out one lump sum at the end of the month. If it's the earlier case, you can still earn interests. If it's the later case, you just need to top up a couple of ringgit to 55.46 MYR and you will earn 0.005 interests which will be rounded up to 0.01 MYR interest per day (but withheld by Rize system at the backend to be paid at the end of the month).

0.005*366+0.033 = 55.454545...

Either case, you gain from diversification as well since not all of your money is locked at BoostBank...

Think positive hehe biggrin.gif

yes will get. my minimum balance Aeon and Rize getting few cents at end of the month

iinm rize RM10 min balance @ 3.8%, month end get 3/4 cents.

Rize 3.3%, vs Go+ 3.4~3.5%, thats why i suggested go+

If you are opened the jar and deposited money before in the jar you can still do so up to the jar limit of 25k MYR.

If the limit is hit, the jar should be deactivated and you can't add money into it anymore.

my birthday jar 20/25k. trying to deposit in 3k now but keep getting error pop out.. "unable to add. try again!"

dont know whether due to full or not..

EDIT:

yup confirmed is full. if check on boost app. when try to deposit, then a more details error pops out saying the jar is oversubscribed already.

Funny how the built-in function in boost app is more detailed than the boost bank app itself. Like telling how much quota each jar have left which boost bank app unable to do..

Dont know boost outsource development to which 3rd world programmer. Simple UI/UX also fail..

EDIT EDIT:

so seems like if cap reached, unable to deposit further even if not maxed it yet..

is there any interest cut off time for these normal and special jars?

I read faq is 23:59:59, that means we can deposit on last minute and take out immediately after interest is credited? lol
*
can.. but do that too many times bank might flag for suspicious activity and may shut your account
