There is no automatic renewal.
Before the end of the term YOU decide if you want to renew, and hassle for the best new rate of interest. If you agree it is renewed at the new rate. If not you get your capital plus interest and can shop around for a better rate.
At the moment, out of the "safe" banks I think I&M give a good rate.
Otherwise go for T bills or Bonds.


What are the current rates for say 1M 1 Year.
Do they have also for USD?


Kindu 6.75% pa for I&M.

While T-bills are at11.67% for 364 day.

If a certain coalition wins then USD rate will hit 150 by June 2013; dump and wait for rate to come down.

And Money Market Unit Trusts are currently better than T-Bills. Check out Britam and CIC
