Special high interest rates for customers depositing hundreds of billions of dong
PVcomBank, ACB, HDBank, DongA Bank, MSB, LPBank... are banks that maintain special interest rates with levels that are much higher than the online mobilization interest rate table. However, the special interest rates only apply to customers with deposit balances from hundreds to thousands of billions of VND.
Customers have the opportunity to receive interest rates of up to 9%/year with deposits of 2,000 billion VND (Photo: Tien Tuan).
At PVcomBank, customers can receive an interest rate of 9%/year if they deposit an amount of VND 2,000 billion or more with a term of 12 and 13 months.
At HDBank, the special interest rates currently applied for 12 and 13 month terms are 7.7% and 8.1%/year, respectively. Individual customers receive interest at the end of the term and deposit a minimum amount of VND500 billion to receive this interest rate.
At MSB, customers depositing from 500 billion VND will receive the highest deposit interest rate of 8%/year, 13-month term and deposit interest rate of 7%/year, 12-month term.
At DongA Bank, the special interest rate currently applied is 7.5%/year, for a term of 13 months. The condition is a minimum deposit balance of 200 billion VND.
According to forecasts from securities companies, in 2025, the mobilization interest rate is likely to remain stable. The reason is the support from the State Bank's efforts to promote credit in 2025, along with the orientation to continue to closely follow domestic and international market developments, support liquidity to create conditions for credit institutions to supply credit to the economy and promptly have appropriate monetary policy management solutions.
