I have GX and Aeon Bank from day one. Both are more superior in terms of benefits, UI and features.

Although I opened Boost bank account today, I will keep a minimal of RM20 just to see what they will offer in near feature in terms and benefits and features. However, based on today's launch, I feel Boost Bank have a lot to catch up. I don't use Boost wallet.

When GX and Aeon Bank first launched, they already had better benefits and features. I signed up with GX and Aeon Bank from day one and both banks are now my main bank accounts. Even my FD, I moved from conventional banks to Aeon Bank as their interest rate is 3.88% (at least until end August). Because I used GX and Aeon Bank app so extensively, that is why I say they are way ahead if Boost Bank but I hope Boost Bank will catch up with better benefits and features soon.

Btw, GX and Aeon Bank can also do everything through the app, including opening an account This is the basic feature of digital bank.

Many conditions and limitations:

Boost Bank now offers 4% p.a. daily interest for its Savings Jar on its "Platinum President with Partner Benefits" Tier. To enjoy this promo, you have to complete several steps:

1. Create a Boost Bank account, deposit and maintain RM2,000 to unlock Platinum President Tier.
2. Link Boost Bank to Boost eWallet
3. Use Boost eWallet to spend a minimum of RM50 at Mydin
4. A "Groceries Jar" will automatically appear, offering 4% p.a. daily interest.

You can deposit up to RM25,000 into this Groceries Jar and the 4% p.a. daily interest promo is valid until 30th September 2024.

Only RM25k for the 4%.

I will stick to Aeon Bank until at least end August.

Just curious ... are you someway involved in Boost Bank, whether directly or indirectly like an employee, vendor, consultant, contractor, etc?

Yeah, very poor marketing team with no innovation and hardly thinking out of the box to beat or at least on par with its digital banking competitors.

The app seems to be a bit buggy this afternoon. When I open, it just hangs with the Boost logo.

Definitely not my network issue as other apps no problem.

Coz you seem to be very "protective" and strong supporter of Boost Bank

Go try GX Bank and Aeon Bank. Both much better in terms of benefits and features and way ahead of Boost Bank.

Aeon bank also digital bank.

Boost Bank interest is lower than GX Bank and Aeon Bank. To get the promotional higher interest rate, they make it very complicated and have a cap. So, totally not worth it and no financial benefits for savings.

In terms of financial features, they are lacking or almost non-existent compared to GX and Aeon. So, for any savings and financial feature, go with GX or Aeon Bank.

Boost Bank 3.6% and 4% interest have conditions and complicated whereas Aeon Bank, 3.88% no conditions.

I still have Boost Bank app with just RM1 balance.. just keep it to see how good (or bad) they are compared to GX and Aeon.

Boost Bank daily max transaction limit is quite low, RM 10k per day only.

I updated my phone software yesterday and Boost bank app thinks it's a new device.

So I have to unbind from "old" device or call Customer service. Obviously can't unbind from old device since it is same phone. So have to call Customer Service and there's a 12 hours cooling off period.

What a dumb app and stupid people working in the app team.

Boost bank app is really useless. So after 12 hours cooling off period, I still cannot log-in. After entering PIN and doing face verification, keeps going back to login screen.

So I called Boost Bank customer service and they told me to wait for the release of a new update today and hopefully can resolve my issue. They said "hopefully", not even sure if can resolve.

So, my advice is :

1. Don't update your phone software (my phone is Fold 6)

2. Stay away from Boost Bank.


Once I can log in again, I will transfer all my money out and just leave RM20 in it.

Boost daily transfer limit is now RM50k, up from RM10k previously.

For the new Boost Celebration Jar with 3.6%, can you top up? Because the current Birthday Jar cannot top up.

Mine still Birthday Jar. Using Android.

The Celebration Jar also max RM25k like the birthday jar.

New promotion.
