Maritime Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MSB) has just unexpectedly increased interest rates by 0.2%/year for deposit types and terms.

Accordingly, the interest rate for deposits from 1 month to 36 months at MSB has increased by 0.2%/year from today. According to the latest online interest rate schedule for depositors receiving interest at the end of the term, the bank interest rate for a term of 1-5 months has increased to 3.9%/year; the bank interest rate for a term of 6-11 months is 4.8%/year, and the bank interest rate for a term of 12-36 months is 5.6%/year.

Thus, the highest current interest rate for customers depositing money online and receiving interest at the end of the term is 5.6%/year.

Meanwhile, the difference between online deposit interest rates and counter deposit interest rates is quite clear. According to the latest counter deposit interest rate table, the interest rate for 1-5 month term is 3.4%/year; 6-11 month term is 4.5%/year, and 13-36 month term is 5.3%/year.

Notably, in this adjustment of savings interest rates, MSB also increased by 0.2%/year for term deposits with the “special interest rate” product. Accordingly, the “special interest rate” for 6-month term deposits is 5.3%/year; and for 12-month, 15-month, and 24-month terms is 5.9%/year.

The condition for customers to enjoy the above “special interest rate” is that the maximum deposit amount is 5 billion VND and only applies to customers who do not have a savings book, deposit contract, or deposit certificate at MSB at the time of opening the book. In addition, each customer at a time is only allowed to have one savings book opened under the “special interest rate” product.

This is the first time in more than 5 months that MSB has adjusted its deposit interest rates. The last time this bank adjusted was on June 6, 2024 after simultaneously increasing interest rates for terms of 1-36 months.

However, in addition to the above-mentioned “special interest rate” for ordinary customers, MSB still maintains the “special interest rate” for super VIP customers with an interest rate of up to 7%/year. This interest rate remains unchanged from before, the condition to receive this interest rate is that customers deposit from 500 billion VND or more and must deposit for a term of 12-13 months.

Apart from MSB, deposit interest rates at other banks have remained unchanged. Since the beginning of October, only a few banks have increased deposit interest rates, including: Agribank (1-5 month term), MSB, LPBank, Eximbank, and Bac A Bank. On the contrary, Agribank reduced deposit interest rates by 0.1%/year for terms of 6-11 months and Techcombank reduced interest rates by 0.1%/year for terms of 1-36 months.
