Argentina Banks Lift 30-Day Deposit Yields as Competition Heats Up Ahead of Vote

The BCRA’s public comparison tool shows the highest returns concentrated in online channels and regional lenders.

Overview

  • Banco Nación set its online 30‑day fixed‑term rate at 44% TNA, with in‑branch placements reported at 34% and longer terms paying less.
  • Across major institutions, online 30‑day TNAs generally span roughly 37% to 44% today, according to the central bank’s comparator.
  • Top offers come from smaller and regional players at about 50%–54% TNA online, including Banco Voii, CMF, Meridian, BICA and Mariva.
  • Banco Provincia’s Cuenta DNI posts a 50% TNA, and a $500,000 deposit would earn about $20,547 in 30 days under current terms.
  • Coverage links the rate moves to efforts to keep pesos in banks and limit dollar demand before elections, following a spike in short‑term market rates and after the BCRA scrapped minimum deposit floors last year.
