Overview
- Fresh BCRA data for December 12 shows large banks clustered near 21–24% TNA for 30‑day deposits, while some smaller and digital lenders advertise up to 27.5%.
- Digital channels generally pay more than branches, with Banco Nación listing 22.5% online versus 20.5% for in‑person placements.
- At current levels, a $500,000 deposit earns about $9,246 in 30 days online at 22.5% TNA, or roughly $8,425 in a branch at 20.5%, according to bank simulators.
- To lock in sizable monthly income, calculators show multi‑million peso deposits are required—around $6.49 million for $120,000, $10.5 million for $200,000, and $15.6 million for $300,000.
- Money‑market FCI yields have also fallen to roughly 1.3% per month, and analysts cite T+1 funds, short‑duration peso debt, or inflation‑linked bonds as alternatives for conservative savers.
