With 2 billion VND, how much interest will I get if I save for 18 months?

(NLDO) - Deposit interest rates continue to increase as more banks join the market. For the 18-month term alone, interest rates at many banks currently exceed 6%/year.

On November 28, according to a reporter from Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper, SeABank is the latest bank to adjust its deposit interest rate schedule.

SeABank has significantly increased deposit interest rates for some terms. Customers depositing for 1-2 months have an interest rate of 3.4%/year; for 3-5 months, the interest rate is 4.1%/year. The highest interest rate at this bank is 5.45% for terms from 18 months. The highest increase is up to 0.65 percentage points compared to before.

Many banks also list deposit interest rates exceeding 6%/year such as BacABank, BVBank, HDBank, Saigonbank...

Savings interest rates increase at many banks

With the upward trend of interest rates, many people also choose to deposit savings for long terms to enjoy higher interest rates.

He planned to borrow more money from the bank to invest in real estate, but the market in the city area is still quiet, so he decided to deposit it in savings. "I am looking for a bank with an interest rate of over 6%/year for long-term deposits," said Mr. Thanh.

Meanwhile, the State Bank has just issued Official Dispatch 9774/NHNN-CSTT requesting credit institutions and State Bank branches in provinces and cities to seriously implement measures to stabilize deposit interest rates and strive to reduce lending interest rates.
