3. FAQ for Savings
1. What is Savings?
Savings is our value-added product for flexible earnings. You can earn hourly interest after transferring your asset at any time. The latest interest model is more competitive as we change from daily interest to hourly compound interest and therefore improve the efficiency of asset utilization considerably. You can earn even more with increased limits if you invest large amounts.
2. What are the rules for setting interest rates?
The market will bid on the hour starting from the lowest APY according to the current demand. The highest value will be considered the current APY.
-
If Min. APY is lower than the current APY, your funds will be loaned based on the current APY.
-
If Min. APY exceeds current APY, your funds won't be loaned, and you won't get any interest.
-
If Min. APY equals current APY, your funds will be partially loaned or won't be loaned at all.
3. What is the Est. APY for the next hour?
We will arrange the queue and lending amount at a frequency per minute, and the matched APY will be the " Est. APY for the next hour ".
4. Do I need to set min. APY for every hour?
You can set min. APY hourly but there’s a chance your loan won’t be completed due to market volatility. If you don't set min. APY for the next hour, our system will use min. APY you set for the previous hour.
5. How is hourly interest calculated?
Hourly interest equals the lending amount multiplied by current hourly APY (yearly APY divided by 365 and daily divided by 24). Note that you get 85% of the interest because 15% goes to OKX insurance fund.
6. What’s the difference between redemption time and arrival time?
Redemption time is the moment when you requested to redeem your funds. Arrival time will be within the next hour after redemption time.
7. What are the rules for redemption?
Lending cycles also last one hour, so you can get your funds back in one hour after lending, not earlier. For example, user A deposits 1,000 USDT at 15:10 and his or her funds are used to fund a margin loan at 16:00. The lending cycle will last from 16:00 to 17:00. If user A requests to redeem his or her funds at 16:05, she won't be able to get them until 17:00.
8. Why are my total earnings blank?
Total earnings include all the interest of your subscription. Once redeeming funds, you won’t be able to view them under Total earnings. This amount can also be blank if your funds aren’t successfully loaned.
9. What are the lending rules if the interest rates are the same?
When different users set the same minimum APY, lending orders will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis. For example, if users A and B set the same minimum APY for their lending orders and user A subscribes earlier than user B, user A will lend first, while user B's order may be partially fulfilled or not fulfilled at all. When a user has multiple lending orders for the same crypto, the subscription time for the last order will be the user's queuing time.
