7 Places To Grow Your Savings Right Now

1. Versa (Up to 10.00% p.a.)

Versa is a wealth management app that allows you to invest in local and global markets.

Their two most popular funds are Versa Cash (Conventional) and Versa Cash-i (Shariah-Compliant). Both are Money Market Funds that offer stable returns, much like TNG GO+ and StashAway Simple.

The base return rate for both funds are as follows:

  • Versa Cash (Conventional): 3.47% pa*

  • Versa Cash-i (Shariah Compliant): 3.14% pa*

*Nett returns for December 2025.

This is nothing to shout about, but Versa is currently running a few juicy promotions:

i) Earn 4.20% p.a. net on Versa Cash and 3.90% net on Versa Cash-i for 6 months.

  • To join, tap “Join Now” on the Fixed Rate Quest page.

  • Cash in the minimum amount of fresh funds, RM2,000 into Versa Cash, or RM1,000 into Versa Cash-i by 31 July 2025 to secure the fixed rate.

  • You can top up to maximize the fixed rate on up to RM30,000 of fresh funds.

  • If you cash out during this time, you’ll need to top up again (above your required amount) before 31 July to stay eligible. ⚠️

The bonus rewards will be credited by the end of Feb 2026 to your Versa Cash or Versa Cash-i account, whichever fund you used to cash in. 🎉

ii) As a new user, set up min. RM500 auto debit and earn 10.00% p.a. on Versa Cash and/or Versa Cash-i for 90 days.

The bonus begins from the month of your first auto-debit transaction and continues until the end of your Eligibility Period (refer below).

2. Ryt Bank (4.00% p.a.)

Known as the first AI-powered digital bank, Ryt Bank allows you to earn 2.05% + 1.95% p.a. in Save Pockets.

The bonus rate only applies to the first RM20,000. To earn it, you have to spend at least RM10/day in 3 separate transactions using the Ryt Card. Otherwise, the earnings rate will drop to the base rate of 2.05% p.a.

The balance in your main account (and any extra funds above RM20,000 in Save Pockets) will earn 2.05% p.a. with no cap.

Apart from this, all overseas spending with the Ryt card comes with 1.2% unlimited cashback, which makes it quite a competitive travel card. I compared it with GXBank, AEON Bank, and Wise during my Japan trip in March this year:

3. AEON Bank (3.00% pa + 1.00% cashback)

Dubbed as Malaysia’s first Islamic Digital Bank, AEON Bank allows you to earn up to 3.00% p.a., paid at the end of each month.

To be clear, the balance in your main account will only earn 0.25% pa, while savings pots will earn 3.00% p.a. So don’t store too much money in your main acc!

You can create up to 20 savings pots with different goals, and the money can be deposited/withdrawn instantly.

You’ll also receive 2x AEON points for every RM1 spent using the debit card at participating AEON stores, which can be claimed for cash (1,000 points = RM5.00). This makes the cashback rate 1.00%.

✅ Shariah-compliant.

✅ Protected by PIDM, up to RM250,000

✅ 1.00% cashback on debit card spending at AEON stores.

❌ Profit payout occurs at the end of each month.

🎁 Referral Code: AB403017 (Get RM12 debit card waiver)

4. MooMoo Cash Plus (6.00% p.a.)

Moomoo Cash Plus mainly invests in cash management tools such as bank deposits and short-term government bonds.

You can choose from a few money market funds, namely:

  • Maybank Retail Money Market Fund (~3.50% p.a.)

  • Eastspring Investments Islamic Income Fund (~3.60% p.a.)

  • United Money Market Fund (~3.60% p.a.)

^ These funds are very similar, so I wouldn’t be too analytical on choosing. Any one of them is fine.

As part of their promotion, new users will earn 6.00% p.a. for 30 days, up to RM30,000.

If the annual returns from your first selected Moomoo Cash Plus fund fall below 6% p.a., Moomoowill top up the difference up to 30 days in the form of cash coupons, limited to a subscription of RM30,000.

5. Boost Bank (3.30-4.00% p.a.)

Boost Bank’s earning rate is decent, but it is quite confusing. The app has “Savings Jars” with specific requirements. If you meet those requirements, you’ll earn a bonus rate.

  • Main Account: 2.50% p.a.

  • Unlimited Jar: 3.30% p.a. (Unlimited amount, only requirement is to open and activate this jar)

  • BoostUp Jar: 4.00% p.a. (Spend RM500/mo with BoostWallet to unlock this, max amount capped at RM3,000)

  • Other jars (refer to picture below)

6. Touch n’ GO+ (3.03% pa)

GO+ offers flexibility and pays daily profit based on the balance in your account at the end of each day.

It will not affect your e-wallet payments. Whenever you make a deposit or transfer, the funds will automatically be added or deducted from your GO+ account.

✅ Earn profit daily.

✅ Shariah compliant.

✅ Deposit/withdraw instantly with DuitNow.

❌ Maximum deposit limit of RM20,000.💡

❌ Not insured by PIDM.

💡 You’ll still earn daily profit beyond this limit, but you won’t be able to deposit more funds.

⚠️ As of 2nd December, TNG is in deep trouble after a user complained that his account got suspended for no reason. Because of this, many users are withdrawing money from their GO+ accounts. Read more here.

7. ASB & ASM (4-6% pa)

Amanah Saham Bumiputera (ASB) and Amanah Saham Malaysia (ASM) are unit trust funds managed by Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad (ANSB).

The funds are always fixed at RM1.00 per unit, giving you the flexibility to plan your investments without worrying about market volatility or price swings.

Unfortunately, ASB is only available for Bumis. For non-Bumis, ASM is the next alternative, but the units are limited and often hard to purchase.

✅ Shariah compliant.

✅ Stable, consistent returns.

✅ Deposit/withdraw in 1-2 business days.

❌ Limited units for non-bumis (ASM).

❌ Profit payout occurs once a year.

❌ Not insured by PIDM.
