Argentine Banks Cut Plazo Fijo Rates Toward 35% as Top Offers Near 50% Persist

Many big lenders now pay roughly 35% for 30‑day deposits, with a few rivals still posting the highest returns.

Overview

  • Fresh bank updates for October 30–31 show a broad pullback from recent highs near 44%, with average 30‑day TNA now clustered in the mid‑to‑high 30s.
  • BCRA’s daily comparison table lists major banks such as Banco Nación around 35%, Provincia 34%, Ciudad 32%, Galicia 31% and BBVA/Santander 32%.
  • Top‑yielding options remain at roughly 45%–50% at select institutions that accept no‑clients, including VOII, CMF, Meridian and Crédito Regional, alongside Banco Provincia’s Cuenta DNI at 50% TNA.
  • Banks often pay more for online placements than at the counter, with Banco Nación showing about 35% TNA online versus roughly 29.5% in‑branch in recent simulators.
  • Media calculators translate these rates into required capital, estimating about ARS 24 million to earn ARS 1,000,000 per month at 50% TNA, around ARS 28.25 million to cover an average Puerto Madero rent and roughly ARS 36 million for ARS 1,500,000 per month.
