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%

QUOTE(cklimm @ Jan 16 2015, 02:13 PM) 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.  lets say i wont be using the funds anytime soon. i just wanted to know which of the two options would give more interest.
