Overview
- The Banco Central de la República Argentina (BCRA) removed rate floors in March 2024, leading to competitive adjustments in fixed-term deposit rates among banks.
- Following the April 2025 removal of dollar purchase caps, banks initially raised rates to retain peso deposits but have since reduced them as the peso stabilizes.
- Banco Nación currently offers a 33.5% TNA for 30-day deposits online, while in-branch rates are lower at 25.5%; Banco de la Provincia de Córdoba leads with 37%.
- The BCRA's TEM table serves as a key reference for savers comparing rates across banks, with online simulators aiding return calculations.
- Fixed-term deposits remain a popular low-risk option for savers seeking to preserve purchasing power in the face of Argentina's inflation and economic volatility.
