What is Boost?

Boost is a Build pot feature offered by Stream that helps you reach your financial goals even faster.

If you are eligible, you will get a 5% AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) Boost on the balance in your Build pot, up to a maximum balance of £1000.

Not all employers will offer Boost. Please check your Stream app to see if you have this feature.

How it works

  • The 5% Boost rate is a fixed rate. This means it does not change daily like a variable rate would.
    NOTE: Although the Boost rate is fixed, it may change in the future. We will tell you in advance if this rate changes.
  • This is an automatic feature: all you need to do to receive a Boost is keep a balance in your savings pot.
  • Your Boost amount is added on the 1st of each month. The amount you receive is calculated from your current daily balance throughout the previous month.
  • You may also choose to opt out of receiving a Boost. This can be found in the Settings page of the Build tab.
  • Your Build pot is safeguarded in the same way as your Stream account.
    NOTE: The Stream team does not financially benefit from any Build pot participation or contributions. Our mission is simply to promote greater financial well-being through easily accessible tools.
