There are still 'exceptions', which bank pays the highest interest?

VietA Bank has just joined the wave of lowering deposit interest rates since today (May 23). This is the first time VietA Bank has reduced deposit interest rates since the beginning of May.

Interest rates mobilized on online channels for terms of 1-5 months remain at 5.5%/year. However, banks have reduced interest rates by 0.2% for terms from 6 months to under 18 months. Interest rates for terms of 18 months or more have been reduced by 0.3%.

With this reduction, the interest rate for 6-month deposits is now 8.3%/year. The interest rate for 7-11-month deposits is now 8.4%/year; the interest rate for 12 months or more is now 8.5%/year.

However, VietA Bank notes that it is still possible to apply interest rates different from the published table to some customers and not exceeding the maximum interest rate prescribed by the State Bank from time to time.

Previously, VietA Bank was the bank that maintained the second highest deposit interest rate in the banking system, only after ABBank.

ABBank is the only bank that announces an interest rate of 9%/year for a 13-month term and 9.2%/year for a term of 15 months or more. This interest rate is applied to online and in-app deposits.

Similarly, VIB Bank also reduced its deposit interest rates. Online deposit interest rates for deposits from 300 million VND to under 3 billion VND, with a term of 7-8 months, decreased by 0.2% to 7.7%/year. The term of 9-11 months decreased by 0.1% to 7.8%/year; the term of 15-18 months decreased by 0.2% to 7.9%/year.

Meanwhile, Orient Commercial Bank (OCB) announced a second reduction in deposit interest rates since the beginning of May.

Online deposit interest rates for individual customers with terms of 6-15 months have all decreased slightly by 0.1%. Deposits with terms of 6 months are now 8%/year and 8.1%/year for terms of 9-15 months. Terms of 18 months or more still maintain an interest rate of 7.9%/year. The interest rate for 1-month deposits is 5.3%/year, and for 3-month deposits is 5.45%/year.

TPBank also joined in lowering deposit interest rates. This bank reduced 0.1% for electronic savings deposits. Currently, the deposit interest rate for a 6-month term at TPBank is 7.6%/year, for a 12-month term is 7.7%/year, for an 18-month term is 7.5%/year, for a 24-month term is 7.4%/year and for a 30-month term is 7.3%/year.

This is the second time this month that TPBank has announced a reduction in deposit interest rates for the above terms. Interest rates for 1-3 month terms are still maintained at 5.45%/year by TPBank.

The remaining banks did not change interest rates today.
