Argentina’s 30-Day Plazo Fijo Rates Ease to About 40% TNA as Top Digital Offers Hold Near 48%

Banks set deposit yields after the BCRA scrapped minimums in 2024, creating wide gaps across institutions and channels.

Overview

  • Following a bout of volatility that pushed some quotes near 58%, banks have cut 30-day rates to roughly 40% TNA in a calmer peso market.
  • Rate dispersion remains wide, with Banco Voii at 48%, Reba at 47% and Meridian at 46.5%, while many major banks post offers between 35% and 43%.
  • Banco Nación pays 43% through its electronic channel, yielding about $35,342 on a $1,000,000 deposit for 30 days or roughly $8,836 on $250,000.
  • These nominal returns exceed August inflation of 1.9% and projections for 2025, yet they have become less compelling for savers prioritizing dollar exposure.
  • With the rate floor removed, each bank prices its own TNA, and savers can compare offers and open deposits online even without being existing clients.
