Overview
- Several institutions trimmed rates this week, pulling the market average down from roughly 44% to about 39.5% TNA as of October 30.
- BCRA’s daily comparison shows 30‑day peso TNAs spanning roughly 30% to 50%, underscoring intense competition for deposits.
- Top-end promotions remain available, including a 50% TNA on Banco Provincia’s Cuenta DNI and 50% listings at VOII, Meridian, CMF and Crédito Regional for online placements.
- Practical calculators indicate about $7.4 million is needed to earn $240,000 in 30 days at a 39.5% TNA, versus roughly $5.76 million at a 50% TNA.
- Channel terms are pivotal as online deposits often pay more than in-branch options, and dollar time deposits remain low-yielding at around 2.5% annually at some banks, generating roughly US$24.66 on US$12,000 in 30 days.
