BCRA Comparator Shows Big Gaps in 30‑Day Term Deposit Rates

The official tool reveals digital lenders paying about 23.5–24% TNA while big banks post roughly 16–21% which lets savers move funds online to chase higher nominal returns.

Overview

  • The BCRA online comparator updated on Monday shows the highest 30‑day TNAs around 23.5–24% from digital entities such as Reba and Meridian while major banks report lower TNAs in the 16–21% range.
  • Banco Nación’s simulator confirms channel differences with electronic placements carrying higher TNAs than in‑branch offers and producing thousands of pesos more per million invested over 30 days.
  • Regulation lets non‑clients open 30‑day term deposits online without paying constitution fees as long as they authorize a transfer from their own account and provide ID and CBU information.
  • Concrete examples in coverage show the gap matters: investing at 24% versus 16% yields roughly an extra $6,500 per 1,000,000 pesos for 30 days and larger deposits scale those gains proportionally.
  • Reporters caution that published TNAs change quickly so savers should verify the live rate and contractual terms before placing funds and weigh liquidity limits and inflation when judging real returns.
