How to Save Money in Tabungan NOW Through the neobank App from Bank Neo Commerce





Opening a neobank account is done entirely online through the neobank application. You only need an e-KTP and face verification, and the process usually takes only a few minutes without visiting a bank branch.

Separate Savings and Operational Accounts to Make Saving Easier

Using one account for all financial needs often causes savings to be spent unintentionally. One solution is to separate operational accounts from savings accounts.

In neobank, after registration, customers automatically have:

  • Tabungan Reguler
  • Tabungan NOW

Both accounts can be used as a strategy for separating funds. You only need to top up the Tabungan NOW account.

How Much Interest Do You Earn from Saving IDR 100,000 in Tabungan NOW?

Tabungan NOW offers 4.25% interest per year, calculated based on the daily balance and paid daily.

Simple simulation

Daily interest formula:

Daily Interest = (Balance × Annual Interest Rate) / 365

The most commonly used day basis by banks is 365 days.

Example:

100,000 × 0.0425 ÷ 365

= IDR 11.64 per day (before rounding)

This simulation is illustrative and not rounded. Actual returns may differ depending on the number of days and the daily balance.

  • Review financial targets every month
