Virgin Money is changing the interest rates on their Boost Saver. Effective 16 November 2022, the new Boost Saver interest rate will be up to 3.85% p.a. when the account-holder continues to meet the Monthly Criteria. And, if the account-holder also enables the new Lock Saver Feature, the interest rate will increase up to 4.15% p.a.

  I think ING Savings Maximiser might still be better at 4.30% p.a. but this one has a higher $250k limit though

    ING has too many hoops and likes to debank customers without notice.

    I prefer Ubank and Virgin.

    I like the new Ubank app interface the best, and the fact you can transfer direct from your savings account to other bank accounts (don’t need to move it to transaction account first).

    Virgin you can’t transfer direct from savings account and also is a bit annoying with SMS codes every time you want to do a transfer (even if you have transferred to that account before).

        You don’t lose the interest if you withdraw… it then just takes 32 days to complete the payment

      I believe the monthly criteria need to be made in the preceding month.

  Osko/payid limit per day is only $1000 per day, that itself is a dealbreaker for me
