Argentine Fixed-Term Deposit Rates Climb, With Wide Gaps Across Banks

Since the 2024 deregulation ended minimum rates, competition has pushed yields higher at some banks, especially for online deposits.

Overview

  • The central bank’s January 23 table shows 30‑day nominal annual rates ranging roughly from 21% to about 33%, reflecting a sharp dispersion across the market.
  • Digital and smaller institutions top the rankings, with offers near 32%–33% TNA at banks such as Meridian, CMF and VOII, while the lowest listed include Banco de Formosa at 21%.
  • Major banks post lower yields by comparison, with Banco Macro at 27.5%, Banco Nación at 26% and Santander, Galicia and BBVA around 23%, according to the latest published schedules.
  • Channel choice matters: Banco Nación pays 26% for online fixed terms versus 20.5% in branch, and its simulator indicates about ARS 16.52 million is needed to earn ARS 380,000 in 30 days at 26% TNA.
  • Savers can capture the best daily rates via Plazo Fijo Web without being clients—authorized by DEBIN and free of charge—and experts advise turning off auto‑renewal to recompare rates each month.
