i was wondering which of the following option would be better for maybank's fixed deposit since im not sure how their calculation works

a) rm5000 for 1 month @ 3.15% with the interest credited to principal, auto renewal for 6 months

b) rm5000 for 6 months @ 3.25%

I will say, spilt em up
RM 1500- 2months @ 3.15%,
RM 1500- 3months @ 3.2%,
RM 2000-6 months  @3.25%.
In case u need to touch yr funds, u will not lose all of the interest.  whistling.gif
