Updated July 2026. This was a February 2026 snapshot and the rates below have moved. The biggest change: KDI Save cut its rates on 16 June 2026, and the top tier now requires you to hold a balance in KDI Invest. Cash-only savers earn 2.88%, not 4%. Ryt's base is now 2.05% with the bonus capped at the first RM20,000. For a current, fully-dated comparison, see the best money market funds in Malaysia, which is the maintained version of this list.

I have decided to make post like this from time to time to update places that can park money, this is mostly for myself, so I will update as frequently as I personally need it.

Most platform only offering “special interest” for a fixed period or during a promotional campaign, so this post is to keep track of places with good interest rate.

What qualifies to be in this post?

  • Has to be liquid (accessible within 3 business day)
  • No expose to significant market risk
  • Licensed and regulated platform in Malaysia
  • Malaysian Ringgit based
  • At least matching the OPR interest rate or above
  • No stupidly complex product / “missions to unlock higher rate” bullshit

Let’s get straight into it.

Rate Guaranteed platform

  • KDI Save – 2.88% base, or 3.88% for the first 50K and 3.38% above it if you hold a qualifying balance in KDI Invest
    • The old unconditional 4% ran from 2023 until 16 June 2026. It is gone
  • Ryt Bank – 2.05% base, plus 1.95% bonus on the first 20K only
    • Requires to make few transactions monthly with the card, somewhat annoying

No Guaranteed Rate (Usually MMFs)

For the current numbers, my money market fund comparison is fully rebuilt and dated, and it covers withdrawal times and PIDM status alongside the rates.

Now if I missed anything please let me know, I’ll happy to update this list.
