          Web banking is for their old accounts, MyBOQ is their new system.

          Just can't believe how much lost money in support time and customer dissatisfaction they're getting from this bug… Surely someone higher up should be doing something

  • Is this now the highest paying bank rate?

    Wtf why is this age restricted

      Ageism, simple as that, despite the voting in this thread

    Anyone knows if you get the bonus rate if you're an existing account holder?

    • +1

      Yes, as long as you meet the monthly criteria. If not the offer would be called something like - introductory for new customers.

        Thanks for the explanation Yola :)

  • BOQ customer service is absolutely atrocious. Just hope nothing goes wrong with your account!

  • did they end up fixing that bug were you could open numerous of these high interest accounts within the same core account and collect the high interest on all of them? 50k + 50k + 50k etc

    or is it still working?

    • If more than 50k across all saving accounts(1-9), the bonus interest decrease to 3% instead of 4.9%.

    • Still works for me

  • I heard a while back that you can open up multiple saving accounts?

    Can anyone answer these questions:

    1. If you open up multiple saving accounts is the maximum number of accounts 9? (I recall it was with couples but it might be 5 for singles).
    2. If you open up multiple saving accounts, in order to hit the 5 transactions are they all linked to the same everyday account. Does that mean i have to make 5 transactions per saving account or is it just a minimum of 5 transactions regardless of the number of saving accounts I have.
  • Good rate but terrible bank. Had to wait for over 1 week to even get a response over their chat feature within the app. Still not resolved 2+ weeks later.

    waaahhhh, where is the increase for VM?

  • Today is 23rd and my account still shows 4.75%. Anyone know anything?

    • Same. I'll wait till tomorrow.

  • Does this account pay interest monthly? What happens to the interest this month if I make an account now and transfer some money into it?

    • Interest is calculated daily and paid monthly. So as soon as you deposit you start earning interest.

    Is anyone experiencing issue when opening an account through myBOQ app? I have provided 3 different ID documents which are all I have to confirm my identity but the app is still requesting more…

    • Yes …

  • Anyone get less than the previous month interest this time? Expected more because of the rate increase but got less despite bonus rules being met..

    • February is 28 days.

      • Duh! Thanks, makes sense.

        • Just because February is short, doesn't mean you should pay him/her/they/them/we/it less.

            @shoppe: Less days = less days for interest to be applied on…

    • Somehow my current account was overdrawn but I only use to pay my bills at the exact figure - so always $0 when I’ve paid everything manually and have also not received any interest payment on my saving account which is full.

      Something is broken somewhere haha

  • This increases to 5.15% from 3/Mar.
