When speaking interest rates it is usually expressed in “per year”. However the method of compounding makes the actual interest rate a bit different.
Usually you will divide the interest rate with number of periods. In your case you get
1% / 365 = 0.00274% daily
This means that your annual actual interest rate will become
(1 + 0.00274%)^365 - 1 = 1.005%
