Argentine Banks Trim Fixed-Term Deposit Yields After Election, With Digital Lenders Still Posting Up To 54%

A post‑election pullback has widened dispersion across 30‑day offers, with big institutions clustered in the low 40s and smaller online players topping the rankings.

Overview

  • BCRA comparisons on October 27–28 show broad 1–12 percentage point cuts to 30‑day TNAs following the legislative vote and a rally in local assets.
  • Digital and regional institutions lead returns, with VOII and CMF at 54% TNA and others like Bica, Meridian and Crédito Regional listing 52–54% on online deposits.
  • Major lenders remain materially lower, with Banco Nación at 44% online and private banks such as Macro (42%), BBVA (40%) and Galicia (37%) mostly below 44%.
  • Channel matters for savers: Banco Nación’s electronic rate outpaces its in‑branch offer (about 44% vs 34% TNA), producing sizable differences in monthly interest.
  • At 44% TNA, a 30‑day deposit of AR$1,000,000 yields roughly AR$36,164, and the BCRA’s daily table remains the reference to compare client and non‑client offers bank by bank.
