Thanks all for the reply..
The uncle seems to believe 3.3% on board FD will much better than chasing promo rate
If got chance, I will try to ask the uncle explain why he think so..
I was skeptical as well with his claim but he's old timer, like 60+ which he have much more experience. Hence trying to ask much clearer clarification. This thread also got many knowledgeable ppl.
Once again. Thanks
very simple. Both board rate and promo rate are compounded. The uncle seems to believe 3.3% on board FD will much better than chasing promo rate

Auto renew on board rate is auto compound by bank.
Promo rate is also "compounded" except you have to deposit the interest yourself into whichever bank gives the best promo rate.
Assume FD is RM1000, board rate 3.3 and promo rate 4.5
Board rate compound
Year 1 FD 1000, Interest 1000 x 3.3 % = 33
Year 2 FD 1033, interest 1033 x 3.3%.....
Promo rate compound
Year 1 FD 1000, Interest 1000 x 4.5 % = 45
Year 2 FD 1045, interest 1045 x 4.5%.....
