Argentine Banks Cut Peso Deposit Rates Again as BCRA Data Shows 30%–45% Band

Fresh cuts reflect competitive repricing anchored by the BCRA’s public comparator.

Overview

  • Banks implemented another round of reductions in late September, marking a second cut in about two weeks reported by local media.
  • The BCRA’s comparator now shows most 30‑day peso term deposits between 30% and 45% TNA, with Banco Nación at 36% and several digital offers in the low‑to‑mid 40s.
  • Major-bank listings cited across outlets include Santander 35%, Galicia 35.25%, BBVA 35%, Banco Provincia 34% and Banco Ciudad 31%, while Banco Voii and Banco del Sol reach 45% and Meridian 42.5%.
  • Channel differences persist, with Crónica noting Banco Nación pays 36% online versus 29.5% in‑branch for similar 30‑day placements.
  • Dollar‑denominated term deposits remain available at far lower annual yields, roughly 0.05% to 2.5% depending on the bank, while Peru’s concurrent fixed‑term campaigns cluster near 5% TREA.
