I need help with understanding how the DBS multiplier account works?

Hi, recently I called DBS to ask why my whole month of Feb don't have any interest earn. They said that cos its prevailing base interest & interest is calculated daily, despite retail paylah spending under Option 3, my interest earned daily is $0.000, thus month-end is $0.00. Can someone help me understand how Multiplier is different to normal saving acc, e.g. eEveryday saving acc? Cos DBS say if I hold $1k in the acc, month-end earn $0.28.

First you give the bank your money via salary credit, then they ask you to buy some products from which they get fee income from you to pay their salesman and the rent at mbfc and of course dividends to their shareholders. In return for your salary credit they will pay u interest 200 bps lower than what they lend out thereby a net interest margin is generated and part of it goes to pay dividends to shareholders again.
