## Deposit Rate Landscape at Major Banks

A survey of online savings deposit rate schedules on 30 October 2026 recorded stable movements across the state-owned commercial banking group. For short maturities under 6 months, Agribank, BIDV, and VietinBank applied an interest rate of 4.75% a year for the 3-month tenor according to the [CafeF compilation on 30 October 2026](https://cafef.vn/lai-suat-ngay-30-10-tai-agribank-vietcombank-bidv-vietinbank-mb-vpbank-techcombank-sacombank-hdbank-18826103008064422.chn). This online rate of 4.75% a year was also recorded through [independent survey data](https://nganfy.com/lai-suat-hom-nay) on 30 October 2026.

At the 6-month tenor, the three lenders Agribank, BIDV, and VietinBank concurrently listed an online interest rate of 6.6% a year based on data on 30 October 2026 from [CafeF](https://cafef.vn/lai-suat-ngay-30-10-tai-agribank-vietcombank-bidv-vietinbank-mb-vpbank-techcombank-sacombank-hdbank-18826103008064422.chn) and the [survey data channel](https://nganfy.com/lai-suat-hom-nay). Moving into longer tenors of 12 months and 18 months in 2026, all three banks maintained an online rate of 6.8% a year according to findings from these two independent data sources.

## Calculating Actual Interest Returns

Interest earned on term deposit savings is determined based on the initial principal deposit, the listed annual interest rate, and the actual deposit duration. The formula to calculate interest for a one-year tenor is expressed as follows:

$$\text{Annual interest} = \text{Initial deposit} \times \frac{\text{Listed interest rate}}{100}$$

Consider a hypothetical example on 30 October 2026: An online savings deposit of 100 million VND placed for a 12-month tenor at the listed interest rate of 7.0% a year at VIB according to the [CafeF compilation](https://cafef.vn/lai-suat-ngay-30-10-tai-agribank-vietcombank-bidv-vietinbank-mb-vpbank-techcombank-sacombank-hdbank-18826103008064422.chn) and the [survey channel](https://nganfy.com/lai-suat-hom-nay):

$$\text{Annual interest} = 100{,}000{,}000 \times \frac{7.0}{100} = 7{,}000{,}000 \text{ VND}$$

For a 6-month tenor, the interest received corresponds to half of the annual interest rate based on the deposit period. Consider a hypothetical example of a 100 million VND deposit placed for a 6-month tenor at an interest rate of 6.6% a year across state-owned commercial banks according to figures on 30 October 2026 from [CafeF](https://cafef.vn/lai-suat-ngay-30-10-tai-agribank-vietcombank-bidv-vietinbank-mb-vpbank-techcombank-sacombank-hdbank-18826103008064422.chn):

$$\text{Six-month interest} = 100{,}000{,}000 \times \frac{6.6}{100} \times \frac{6}{12} = 3{,}300{,}000 \text{ VND}$$

Depositors should keep early withdrawal regulations in mind. In the event of early termination before maturity, the deposit balance typically yields only the demand deposit interest rate under current regulations at each credit institution.

## Central Bank Policy Guidance

At the press conference on 7 October 2026, Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam Pham Thanh Ha stated that the pace of interest rate increases was slowing down, according to reports published on [Government News](https://baochinhphu.vn/nhnn-toc-do-tang-lai-suat-dang-cham-lai-102261007182510571.htm). As of 20 September 2026, the average deposit interest rate on new transactions stood at 6.38% a year, up 1.15% compared to the end of 2025. As of 30 September 2026, system-wide credit growth reached 16.69% year-on-year compared to the same period in 2025, with total outstanding credit across the system reaching 20.75 quadrillion VND.

On 18 October 2026, the State Bank of Vietnam issued Document 9608/NHNN-CSTT according to information from [Government News](https://baochinhphu.vn/phai-giam-toi-thieu-05-nam-lai-suat-tien-gui-ky-han-tu-6-thang-tro-len-102261018161117229.htm). The central bank required credit institutions to cut listed deposit interest rates by at least 0.5% a year for tenors from 6 months and above under the 18/10/2026 official letter. Concurrently, under the 18/10/2026 official letter, commercial banks need to trim operating costs to facilitate lending rate cuts of 1.5% to 2% a year supporting business production.

Directives under Document 9608/NHNN-CSTT on 18 October 2026 also requested credit institutions to avoid unhealthy competition and control liquidity risks, as recorded by [Tin Nhanh Chung Khoan](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/nhnn-yeu-cau-giam-lai-suat-tien-gui-toi-thieu-05nam-doi-voi-cac-ky-han-tu-6-thang-tro-len-post399709.html). Commercial lenders were instructed to maintain stability across the money market and adhere to overall regulatory guidance.

Implementing the above guidance, on 19 October 2026, Vietcombank announced a new policy schedule according to details from [Vietcombank](https://www.vietcombank.com.vn/vi-VN/Trang-thong-tin-dien-tu/Articles/2026/10/19/20261019_VCB-giam-lai-suat-cho-vay). Effective 20 October 2026, Vietcombank applied a reduction of 0.5% a year for listed mobilization deposit rates across tenors from 6 months and above. In addition, Vietcombank implemented lending rate reductions of 1.5% to 2% a year applicable from 19 October 2026 through 31 December 2026 for business production loans.
