7 Places To Grow Your Savings Right Now

1. Versa Save Conventional (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 Save (Conventional) and Versa Save (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 Save (Conventional): 3.47% pa*

  • Versa Save (Shariah Compliant): 3.14% pa*

*Nett returns for December 2025.

This is nothing to shout about, but to sweeten the pot, Versa is allowing new users to earn 10% p.a. for 90 days.

To receive these rates, you only have to set up a monthly auto-debit of RM500 or more into any Versa Save product.

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 3.00% + 1.00% p.a. in Save Pockets.

To earn the additional 1.00% p.a., 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 3.00% p.a.

Spend at least RM10/day to earn stamps. Get 3 and you’ll receive the bonus 1.00% p.a.

The balance in your main account (and any extra funds above RM20,000 in Save Pockets) will earn 3.00% p.a. (base rate) 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:

Important note: From 18 June onwards, RYT Bank will be reducing the base interest rate of the main account from 3.00% p.a. to 2.05% p.a.

The bonus interest will increased from 1.00% p.a. to 1.95% p.a., so it’s still 4.00% p.a. on your first RM20,000.

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 earn 0.25% pa, while savings pots will earn 3.00% p.a.

You can create up to 20 savings pots with different goals, and the money can be deposited/withdrawn instantly.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

✅ Savings account, insured by PIDM.

✅ Deposit/withdraw instantly using DuitNow.

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

❌ Profit payout occurs at the end of each month.

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.
