Specifically, BIDV reduced the interest rate for 1-11 month terms by 0.3 percentage points. The interest rate for 1-2 month terms after the reduction is only 2%/year; the interest rate for 3-5 month terms is only 2.3%/year and the interest rate for 6-11 month terms is only 3.3%/year.

Meanwhile, Agribank also reduced 0.2 percentage points of interest rates for 1-2 month deposits to only 1.8%/year, and sharply reduced 0.4 percentage points of interest rates for 3-5 month deposits to 2.1%/year.

For online deposit interest rates for 6-11 month terms, Agribank reduced interest rates by 0.2 percentage points to 3.4%/year.

At VietinBank, online deposit interest rates for 1-2 month terms are now only 1.9%/year after a 0.3 percentage point reduction. 3-5 month terms are now 2.2%/year after a similar reduction.

VietinBank listed the 6-9 month term deposit interest rate at 3.2%/year, down 0.3 percentage points compared to before.
