    Hi XX,
    We are writing to tell you about a technical error which has affected the application of Bonus Interest to our Future Saver and Smart Saver account holders. The error has resulted in customers earning Bonus Interest despite not meeting the monthly Bonus Criteria which includes making 5 or more eligible transactions from your linked Everyday Account in the previous calendar month.

    While the error may have worked in your favour, we still wish to apologise and want to advise that as of 1 September, 2022 the issue has now been resolved, and the full monthly Bonus Criteria must now be met to qualify for Bonus Interest on all Future Saver and Smart Saver accounts

    • hotsnakes on 22/09/2022 - 12:37

      No, must have been for some customers only. Enjoy

      You got downvoted but this actually is discrimination. It's just that age discrimination is morr acceptable than other discrimination like racial or religious.

  • cheapskateasian on 25/09/2022 - 20:56

    Can I make an initial deposit of $50,000 and then make monthly deposits of $1,000 + 5 transactions, and receive the entire 4% interest. i.e. $2,000.

    OR

    Do I need to make an initial deposit of $38,000 (max $50k - 12 monthly deposits of $1k) and then make monthly deposits of $1,000 and receive the full 4% interest?

    I'm a bit confused about any amounts over $50k that will trigger a lower interest rate. Does that mean if I make a deposit of $50k and then monthly deposits of $1k, I will only receive 2.5% interest?

    • trashcan on 27/09/2022 - 01:09

      The requirement of deposit and 5 transactions is on the transaction account.

      If you have more than 50K that you want to deposit for eg 75K you can open 2 savings account and deposit 50K in one and 25K in the other.

      To get 4% you just have to deposit 1K to the transaction account and make 5 transactions.

      You can withdraw the 1K deposited into your transaction account or move it the to one of the savings account.

      50K in each savings account earns the highest rate and a reduced rate on the balance above 50K.

      You can open upto 9 Saving account.

      • freoleo on 28/09/2022 - 23:14

        So I can deposit 1k into the account and then back out of the account the next day as long as I make my 5 transactions?

        So just put 1k in and out of the transaction account each month?

        • trashcan on 29/09/2022 - 00:03

          That is correct. You could even move the money out on the same day. The deposit from your other account to the BOQ transaction account and back can be done in a matter of minutes if done via Osko.

      • techberi on 01/10/2022 - 23:31

        Can we take money out of future saver to deposit in other bank and then deposit it again in everyday account? Or we have to grow the balance in future saver each month??

  • capslock janitor on 28/09/2022 - 18:22

    • Unorthodox on 29/09/2022 - 23:38

      It's a pretty bad app - that happens quite a lot.

      Also its down for maintenance from 3AM AEST Friday 30th so could be due to increased traffic/early cut off

      • capslock janitor on 30/09/2022 - 10:59

        I was trynna register thrughout the day and re-installed app.

        Called up the technical team, told to re-install again and worked/logged in this time (but yeah still getting unsightly "errors" usage.)
        Current bug I'm still having is pressing "Get set up (4)" and it crashes out the app…

        I'll say I love you' to them next time.

        • capslock janitor on 01/10/2022 - 10:21

          Its android ap that they cant fix for shit, over long weekend everyone on android pretty much was locked out of their accounts. At this point I am moving to virgin money much better then their crap app that well take you 20 mins normally to open and then bugs everyday.

  • HunterxHunter9000 on 04/10/2022 - 10:45

    Don't bother been 4 days without access to my account on boq android app over long weekend and there support know of the issue but have the customer support closed and have no interest of fixing the issue. Just missed out on many deals because I couldn't open the app to transfer from saver to the everyday account.

    • claudefrog12345 on 08/10/2022 - 07:21

      You should have received the interest on 1st October.

          Did you remember to put the money into your 'future saver account '? The interest money deposits into the same account too…

            So I don't even get interest from my Everyday amount?

      Yeah i did this yesterday and today it says next months bonus interest rate is unlocked. I did 5x $1 bpay to a crediit card with another bank.

      • Xxmilker69xX on 16/10/2022 - 02:43

        Does the status for next month interest unlocked change instantly? or does it take time once you meet the final criteria?

        • Benno007 on 08/11/2022 - 10:47

          I made 5 transactions on Saturday Nov 5th and it was Tuesday Nov 8th before it changed to ‘Yes’ for ‘next month’ even though the transactions were no longer ‘pending’ on Monday.

          I had previously also transferred $1000 in on Nov 2

    Can you pay off your credit card via bpay and will that work?

    • claudefrog12345 on 17/10/2022 - 13:32

      Yes i made 5x $1 bpay to my credit card and it counted towards my transactions

  • Benno007 on 17/10/2022 - 21:33

    I would have thought BOQ would let me transfer money between my everyday account and my future saver account?

    Seems I don’t have the option to transfer funds from my savings account out to anywhere? So basically it’s stuck in there? I can’t withdraw it in the app to transfer back to my other account, nor can I transfer to my everyday account to make any purchases…

    I just opened it on the weekend, so dunno if that has anything to do with it?

    Anyone experienced this?

    • victorheaven on 18/10/2022 - 09:14

      Something doesn't sound right.

      Maybe give BOQ a call, you don't want your money sitting in your everyday account earning 0% interest.

      • Benno007 on 03/11/2022 - 08:40

        After a few days thankfully I could start transferring out 🤷

        Welp, I've been trying to contact them for the past 3 days and getting nothing, gonna have to try the card with google pay and see if i can get it to work
