How many online savings accounts should I have?
The number of online savings accounts you should have depends on your financial goals and preferences. Having multiple savings accounts can help you manage various savings goals separately, such as emergency funds, vacation savings or mortgage payments.
However, having too many accounts might become overwhelming to manage, so it’s important to find a balance that suits you. Ultimately, the right number of accounts is whatever allows you to effectively track your progress towards your goals, while maximising your savings potential.
With a Simple Saver account, you can open up to 9 savings accounts on the myBOQ app to get your savings sorted.
Can I open a joint account?
Yes, accounts can be opened with 2 people only as joint owners. Once you’ve completed your application, we’ll send the other party a message with details on how to get started.
If they're a new myBOQ customer, they'll get a unique application ID and an invite prompting them to download the myBOQ app to get started.
But if they already have myBOQ they can apply by using the application ID in the account section of their myBOQ app or myBOQ Internet Banking'. Select ‘Sign up for a new account’ and then ‘Join an existing application’.

What is the interest rate for an online savings account?
Online savings account rates can vary depending on the bank and the type of account you choose. Remember to consider not only the interest rate but also any fees, accessibility, and additional features offered by the bank and type of account.
By comparing options and finding the right balance, you can make the most of your savings and watch your money grow over time. At BOQ, we offer competitive savings account interest rates to help you grow your money over time.
How is interest calculated?
We calculate interest on your account from the day funds are credited to your savings account. It's calculated daily by applying the
applicable interest rate to the closing balance of your account each day as follows:
Simple Saver Account daily closing balance x interest rate (per annum)/{text-center}
Number of days in the year (365 days){text-center}
Interest is paid monthly to your account at the close of business on the last day of each calendar month. Those funds are available on the first day of the following month.
Some months have more days than others, which can affect the total dollar value of interest paid each month.
If I already have a WebSavings or Bonus Interest Savings account, can I access the myBOQ app?
To access the myBOQ app, you'll need to open a new Simple Saver savings account.
That's why accounts like WebSavings, Bonus Interest Savings, Premier Investment, Day2Day Plus, Fast Track Starter and Fast Track Saver are available through our Classic Online Banking system but not in the myBOQ app.
Can I access this account using desktop internet banking?
