Overview
- The central bank posted a comparative table on November 7 listing 30‑day peso fixed‑term rates across major institutions to help depositors compare offers.
- Large‑bank rates currently cluster in the roughly 24% to 33% range after recent reductions, with examples including Banco Nación at 33%, Provincia at 24%, Ciudad at 28%, Santander at 27%, BBVA at 27%, Macro at 33% and ICBC at 32.25%.
- Some banks report materially higher online offers available to non‑clients, including Mariva at 35%, Meridian at 36%, Voii at 36% and Banco Columbia at 46%.
- The BCRA notes that opening a fixed‑term deposit carries no user cost or paperwork and can be done via home banking or through links to bank websites, even without an existing account.
- Consumer illustrations show that placing ARS 750,000 for 30 days at a 33% nominal annual rate generates about ARS 20,342 in interest, highlighting modest short‑term returns under the new rate levels.
