Argentine Banks Lift 30-Day Deposit Rates With Top Online Offers Reaching 44%

A year after minimum floors were scrapped, aggressive bank competition now pushes yields higher online than at branch counters.

Overview

  • Fresh repricing in early October shows 30‑day TNAs clustered near 30%–44%, with digital and regional players like CMF and BICA posting the highest quotes.
  • Banco Nación’s online rate stands at 37.5% TNA, a level widely used as a reference in media calculators and bank simulators.
  • The BCRA publishes a daily bank‑by‑bank comparator that lets savers check current 30‑day rates and link directly to offers, including for non‑clients.
  • Rate gaps by channel are material, such as Banco Nación’s 37.5% online versus 29.5% in‑branch, which changes how much principal is needed to hit a target return.
  • Concrete examples cited include an estimated $40,068 gain on $1,300,000 at a 37.5% TNA in 30 days and roughly $7,138,000 required to earn $220,000 at Banco Nación, with about $6,000,000 needed at 44%.
