How is daily interest calculated?

 

Effective Date: 1 October 2024

Interest is calculated based on the following formula:

  • Interest Amount = End of day Balance x (Interest Rate / Total Days of the Year)
    • “End of day Balance” refers to the balance in your respective Main Account and Savings Pocket(s) at 23:59:59.

    • The second decimal point will be rounded up to the nearest number if the third decimal point is 5 or above. Otherwise, it will be rounded down. Examples are as follows:

      • 0.02499 is rounded to 0.02
      • 0.02501 is rounded to 0.03
      • 0.99999 is rounded to 1.00
      • 0.99199 is rounded to 0.99
  • "Total Days of the Year" refers to either 365 for non-leap years or 366 for leap years, depending on the specific year for which the “End of day Balance” is being calculated.

Example 1

Main Account

  • End of day balance = RM1,250
  • RM1,250.00 X (2% p.a. / 365 days) = RM0.06849
  • Interest post to Main Account = RM0.07
     

 

 

 

Example 2

Main Account

  • End of day balance = RM100
  • RM100.00 X (2% p.a. / 365 days) = RM0.00547
  • Interest post to Main Account = RM0.01 

Saving Pocket

  • End of day balance = RM1,150
  • RM1,150.00 X (2% p.a. / 365 days) = RM0.06301
  • Interest post to Savings Pocket = RM0.06
