1. Maya Bank: The High-Stakes Overachiever
Rate: 3.5% (Base) up to 15% p.a.
The Scoop: Maya remains the undisputed heavyweight champion if you’re willing to put in the work. They’ve perfected the "missions" model. While your money starts at a decent 3.5%, you can "boost" that rate all the way to 15% by paying bills, using their card, or scanning to pay.
The Vibe: High effort, high reward.
Perfect for: The "Life Hacker" who uses Maya for every single transaction anyway.
2. CIMB Bank: The Growth Partner
Rate: 2.5% up to 7% p.a.
The Scoop: CIMB has focused on one thing: growth. Their Grow and CIMB Biz accounts offer a solid 4% base, but if you increase your Average Daily Balance (ADB) by at least ₱10,000, they’ll slap an extra 3% on top.
The Vibe: Steady and reliable.
Perfect for: People who are actively building their "forever" emergency fund.
3. BanKo Todo Savings (by BPI): The No-Nonsense Powerhouse
Rate: 5% p.a.
The Scoop: If you hate jumping through hoops, BanKo is your best friend. There are no missions and no spend requirements. As long as your balance is between ₱5,000 and ₱1M, you get a flat 5%. It’s simple, effective, and backed by the heritage of BPI.
The Vibe: "Just give me my money."
Perfect for: The minimalist saver who wants high yield without the headache.
4. DiskarTech: The Micro-Savings Hero
Rate: 4.88% p.a.
The Scoop: RCBC’s DiskarTech remains the go-to for many Filipinos, but it comes with a ceiling. The 4.88% rate is fantastic, but it only applies to savings up to ₱49,700. It’s the perfect "starter bank" for students.
The Vibe: Community-focused and accessible.
Perfect for: Small savings goals and beginners.
5. Tonik: The Social Saver
Rate: 4% (Solo) to 4.5% p.a. (Group)
The Scoop: Tonik’s "Stashes" are a standout feature. You can save alone at 4%, but if you start a Group Stash with two friends, the rate jumps to 4.5%. It turns saving into a team sport.
The Vibe: Fun, edgy, and social.
Perfect for: Couples saving for a wedding or friends planning a trip.
6. SeaBank / MariBank: The Daily Reward
Rate: 3.5% to 4% p.a.
The Scoop: They win on user experience. They credit your interest daily. There is something incredibly addictive about waking up every morning to a notification that you've earned a few extra pesos.
The Vibe: Instant gratification.
Perfect for: People who love seeing progress in real-time and Shopee addicts.
