Argentine Banks Adjust Fixed-Term Deposit Rates Following Peso Stability

Leading institutions like Banco Nación reduce rates to 33.5% TNA online as competition persists post-currency control lift.

Overview

  • The Banco Central de la República Argentina (BCRA) removed rate floors in March 2024, leading to competitive adjustments in fixed-term deposit rates among banks.
  • Following the April 2025 removal of dollar purchase caps, banks initially raised rates to retain peso deposits but have since reduced them as the peso stabilizes.
  • Banco Nación currently offers a 33.5% TNA for 30-day deposits online, while in-branch rates are lower at 25.5%; Banco de la Provincia de Córdoba leads with 37%.
  • The BCRA's TEM table serves as a key reference for savers comparing rates across banks, with online simulators aiding return calculations.
  • Fixed-term deposits remain a popular low-risk option for savers seeking to preserve purchasing power in the face of Argentina's inflation and economic volatility.
