Agribank currently offers the lowest interest rate among these institutions.

Meanwhile, BIDV and VietinBank apply an annual interest rate of 6.8% for all terms of one year or longer.

Since yesterday, the Big Four group has lowered short-term interest rates below the State Bank's annual cap of 5%. Specifically, the interest rate for the 1-month term fell to 4.1% per annum, while the interest rate for the 3-month term fell to 4.6% per annum. This places state-owned banks at the bottom of the banking system in terms of interest rates.
In addition to the Big 4, the majority of other banks have adjusted their interest rates to the State Bank's regulations, lowering them to a maximum of 5% per year for deposit terms ranging from one to six months.

Additionally, Vietbank has adjusted interest rates for terms of six months or longer. For instance, the annual interest rate for a 12-month term decreased by 0.3 percentage points to 7.8%. The highest interest rate currently offered by Vietbank is 7.9% per annum for a 13-month term.
However, VietABank only decreased the interest rate for terms of less than six months, from 5.5% per year to 5% per year, while leaving the rate unchanged for terms longer than six months.
