Argentine Banks Lift Fixed‑Term Deposit Rates as Competition Pushes Top Offers to 49%

Deregulation now has banks setting their own 30‑day deposit yields, producing sharp differences by institution and channel.

Overview

  • Banco Nación currently pays a 39% TNA on 30‑day online fixed deposits, while the in‑branch rate is lower at 29.50%.
  • Central bank comparison data show some regional lenders offering up to 49% TNA for non‑clients, including Banco VOII (49%) and Banco Bica, Banco Meridian and REBA (48%).
  • Banco Nación’s simulator indicates that earning ARS 300,000 in 30 days at the 39% online rate requires depositing ARS 9,360,000.
  • A 30‑day deposit of ARS 2,500,000 at Banco Nación yields ARS 80,136.99 in interest at the 39% TNA, for a total of ARS 2,580,136.99.
  • To target ARS 270,000 in 30 days at the 39% online rate, the required principal is ARS 8,423,100, and the BCRA’s official comparator and bank simulators help savers shop the best available TNAs.
